Big Cat sometimes drops the "I took Omeka Okafor and Caron Butler.":
(via ESPN article):
5. The (in)famous Ryan Gomes quote, 2004: After the eventual national champion Huskies lost to Providence on Jan. 24, 2004, thanks in large part to Waterbury, Conn., native Ryan Gomes' 26 points and 12 rebounds, Calhoun was asked -- not for the first time -- if he had missed Gomes' star potential when passing on him during recruitment. Calhoun unleashed a legendary, and actually self-effacing, verbal fusillade:
"It's the dumbest [bleeping] question I've ever heard. I've explained it 1,000 times. I [fouled] up. I didn't take Ryan Gomes. Does that make you happy? Jesus Christ almighty. ... It took 18 months to sell the kid to Providence. It's been written about. It's been talked about. Don't shake your [bleeping] head. You asked a question. I'm telling you how I feel about it. I took Emeka Okafor and Caron Butler. They're not bad. I can't take every player. We have 13 scholarships. ... And if you want me to say I [fouled] up, I [fouled] up. Write it. ... You want me to say I [fouled] up? For the fifth time, I [fouled] up. So put it five times."
I don't think I've every noticed this one but that is great
