"The Way Life Works"

University of North Florida coach Matthew Driscoll, on what he told his players during halftime in an NCAA tournament game against Robert Morris University [bold added]:

Between the black lines it’s about players being players.

Ballers make plays, dudes are dudes. I mean, that’s the way life works.

And I just told them, they just want it more than we do right now. There’s nothing I can change, there’s no schematic I can draw up or no special dust I can [throwing gesture].

I mean just play and be a baller.

(Final score: Robert Morris 81, UNF 77)

It's only March, but it's unlikely that you, dear reader, will either read or hear anything more profound this year.
