Lillard listened to WSU assistant Beckner, the quote machine

[Roy Burton]

"I said, 'Dame, do you know why most people fail?' He goes, 'Why, Phil?' I said -- here's the quote -- 'People fail because they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.' He looked at me and he goes, 'Good one. Let's shoot.'"

Nice article.

I believe that there are players with similar work habits in the program now. It is the kind of player that coach Rahe recruits.

Nice article Roy. Coach Beckner is a heck of a coach.
