The BIAH Quotables

This a new feature we are trying out here at BIAH this season. Throughout the week, we are going to post some notable quotes or excerpts that show up in our google reader. Stupid people say stupid things 24 hours a day, and being somehow associated with the college hoops landscape does not preclude that fact. That said, we will not limit our quotables to the simple and idiotic, as the insightful and intelligent will also be highlighted. Feel free to pass along any quotables you stumble across to contactbiah@gmail.com or @ballinisahabit.

From Zagsblog, talking about Siena's All-Name first-teamer Just'in-Love Smith:

"My mother said that she was 'just in love' with me, so that's what she named me …. Just'in-love," Smith, who is from East Greenbush, N.Y., reportedly said.

"I knew that kid for a whole year and didn't realize that's how you spelled his name," said a source close to the program. "I thought his name was 'Justin Love.'

Bobby Huggins on the suspension of West Virginia freshman Deniz Kilcili, via Dana O'Neil's twitter:

I have to believe the NCAA rule book is not required reading in Turkey. It surely isn’t on the best seller list there.

A gem from Jim Calhoun, talking about Jim Boeheim:

One, it means he’s an old bastard. Two, he’s not going to be happy about it. Except for Juli and his children, nothing seems to bring him happiness.

Luke Winn noticed a bit of a problem with an ESPN graphic regarding Boeheim's 800th win:

Maybe if you get to 900 wins, ESPNU will learn to spell your name right, Jim Boeheim. In a graphic teasing the Syracuse coach's potential 800th-win game during Carolina-FIU, the network spelled current active wins leader Mike Krzyzewski's name correctly ... but Boeheim was listed as "BOEIHUM." How is that pronounced? Boy-hum?

Roy Williams was upset about his teams performance offensively against FIU, as he should have been:

Well we had 26 turnovers. I had to chew the last five guys out for making four turnovers in the last two minutes of the game. I told them to work their tail off in practice. If you want to get in the game then don't turn the dagum ball over.

Evan Turner and Jon Diebler on Turner's triple-double:

Turner - "My roomie got it done for me, so I’ve got to buy him a steak dinner or something"

Diebler - "I told you. I told you he would do it" ... "The last one I shot just because I knew"
