Coach Bruce Weber: You know, there is something you guys should know. When I was 10 years old, I put myself on the injured list. I never got off.
Mawein: Why?
Coach Bruce Weber: Cause I didn't get picked a few times, so I started hiding under the bleachers.
Cartier Diarra : That's where we belong, under the bleachers.
Coach Bruce Weber: No you don't. You guys belong out there with those Retrievers. You know how I know that? Because I belong out there with Ryan Odom.
Levi Stockard: Give us a break, coach. You could never beat Ryan Odom at anything!
Coach Bruce Weber: That's not true. I did beat him once.
Coach Chris Lowery: When?
Coach Bruce Weber: When we were kids. We used to race our bikes down Cherry Hill every day after school. We raced every day and he always beat me, but one time, one time I beat him.
Wainwright: You beat Coach Odom down Cherry Hill?
Coach Bruce Weber: Yes, I did. He ate my dust.
Kam Stokes: Big deal. One time.
Dean Wade: You know, one time at Randy Cooper's swim party, I did a backflip off the high dive, and my brother chickened out.
Mike McGuirl: Roger chickened out? He's a Marine!
Barry Brown: Ah, that's nothing! One time at the spring carnival, I beat both of my brothers in the Cow Dung Toss.
Kam Stokes: You beat Matt and Brett in the turd toss?
Xavier Sneed: You know, one time I went fishing with my entire family, and I was the only one that didn't throw up.
Kam: So, what? It still doesn't make us good basketball players.
Coach Bruce Weber: Well, wait a second, guys. Who said you had to be good to play basketball? You play basketball because you want to. You play basketball because it's fun. You play basketball so you could pretend you're Michael Jordan hitting a shot over Chris Dudley, or Lebron James getting a triple double. And even if those Retrievers are better than you guys, even if they beat you 99 times out of 100, that still leaves.
Kam Stokes: One time.
Mike McGuirl: One time.
Dean Wade: [Smiles] Yeah one time!
