- Coach Ken Carter: (to the people in attendance at the board hearing)
You really need to consider the message you're sending this boys by ending the lockout. It's the same message that we as a culture send to our professional athletes; and that is that they are above the law. If these boys cannot honor the simple rules of a basketball contract, how long do you think it will be before they're out there breaking the law? I played ball here at Richmond High 30 years ago. It was the same thing then; some of my teammates went to prison, some of them even ended up dead. If you vote to end the lockout, you won't have to terminate me; I'll quit.
l came to coach basketball players, and you became students. l came to teach boys, and you became men.
- It begins on the street. It ends here. tagline
- In this state you're 80% more likely to go to prison than college.
"This is our time, not theirs""I came to teach boys and you became men""I see a system that's designed for you to fail""You're here because you deserve this, but just 'cause you deserve this don't mean they're going to give it to you"
