Post some good Jimmy V quotes here. I'm sure there are a number of them that I haven't heard.

"I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, 'Of course not'. I said, 'Well, I think you stink'. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust ‘em."

Ah... I let a friend of mine borrow "V and Me" for awhile... if I had that, I could make a list of funny shit.



Don't remember the exact quotes, but two of the funnier ones.


1) When he kept calling Pepperdine University "The toothpaste school" before we played them (And nearly got whipped) in the NCAA tournament

2) When he was interviewing for the Iona job... he met with the AD at Iona College (I forgot his name, we'll call him Joe Schmoe)

"Hi, I'm Joe Schmoe. Iona College"

Valvano: "Aren't you a little young to own a college?"

"I didn't know anything about the shoes or the tickets or anything else for that matter. I swear. One thing Uncle Paulie taught me before he got whacked is that you never rat anybody out."

you know

jimmy v is great and all

but i get kinda tired of all the threads/quotes/etc

most of us have heard all these quotes 100 times

1/25/2006 2:11:32 PM

and alot of us haven't

1/25/2006 2:17:51 PM

i am one of the ones who gets tired of the V suck fest

1/25/2006 2:18:46 PM

i mean

you guys realize he is dead right?

1/25/2006 2:19:31 PM

yea Jim Valvano is dead....so is Abraham Lincoln.

Does that mean the Gettysburg Address is no longer important?

Jimmy V is the man and I support this thread...its basketball season and there is nothing wrong with remembering one of our great basketball coaches.

^ well put

1/25/2006 4:33:15 PM

well those who dont know history are doomed to repeat it


therefore if we dont know about V and Sloan then we will surely win another NC soon

its cool and all to respect him...

but inevitably it leads to the "herb aint no jimmie v so we should get rid of him" argument

If you dont want to read about it dont click on the fucking thread. Its not like its a tripple thread on BC killing a triangle man cluttering sports talk.
