Well...not exactly your storybook ending huh...but you played like champions...you never gave up...and champions..they hold their heads high. What you achevieved goes way beyond what'll be on the front page of tomorrows paper...what you acheived some people search their whole lives to find...and gentlemen...I am so proud of you. 4 months ago I came to Richmond with a plan..and that plan failed...I came to teach basketball players and you became students...I came to teach boys, and you became men. And for that I thank you. If some walked up to me and told me I could coach any school in the state...you know who I'd choose?
Kenyon Richmond?
WT Whole Team
Richmond!!!
WT Whole Team
RICHMOND!!!
[after the team’s loss against St. Francis in the state tournament]
Well... not quite your storybook ending huh. Not for us anyway. But you men played like champions, and never gave up. And champions hold their heads high. What you achieved goes way beyond the win-loss column or what’s gonna be written on the front page of the sports section tomorrow. You’ve achieved something that some people spend their whole lives trying to find. What you achieved is that ever elusive victory within, and gentlemen... I am so proud of you. 4 months ago, when I took the job at Richmond I had a plan.. that plan failed. I came to coach basketball players, and you became students. I came to teach boys, and you became men. And for that I thank you. If someone walked in this door right now and offered me the coaching job at any school in the state of California, you know which school I’d choose?
St. Francis? [everyone snickers] I'm just sayin'...
Kenyon [Carter looks at Kenyon]
Richmond?
[talking to his players]
What is wrong with you? What's wrong with all of you? Since when is winning not enough, playing hard not enough? No, you have to humiliate your opponents. Taunt 'em after every score. You won four games last season. Four! What gives you the right to taint the game that I love with trash talk and taunting? What gives you the right to wear Richmond on your chest and act like punks?
Kenyon Coach, they were jawin', too.
So? You can't show some class? Act like a champion? You owe me 500 push-ups a piece. On the line, now!
