Famous quotes by Jerry Colangelo:

"We want to make a directional change. I didn't say an attitudinal change,"

"The stability is very important to this league, and the potential over the next decade is huge."

"The league has accomplished so much in the last 30 years, but the potential over the next decade is incredible, just with technology alone. And you really need to have that stability, and the stability that David has offered the league in terms of his leadership and building a strong organization of people is very important to that future."

"We need to change the perception of how the world looks at us as a country and a basketball power and we have to reclaim what we lost. It's a lot about how they look, how they act on and off the court. The only way to change the perception is to have people doing the right thing and that's the goal."

"When it came right down to it, I had to make a choice. This was the individual, it was the guy, right time, right place. It was the guy I wanted alongside of me to go forward."

"When it came time to make the decision ... it was obvious."

"It's a sensitive deal. It'd be inappropriate for him to be out front."

"I've spent my entire life in the game on different levels, and here was an opportunity on an international stage to represent my country at a time when our basketball program needed an awful lot of work as a result of the World Championships in Indianapolis a few years ago and the Olympics in Athens."

"We attend and scout all of the international competitions. And so this team will be totally ready. There will not be any concern about not knowing what to expect."

"When it came time to make the decision of who would be sitting right next to me, it was obvious, ... This is going to be a three-year commitment and I will talk one-on-one with every player before any invitations are extended."
