and I said, you know, "Coach Pingatore,
their family's been getting on me about...

3:02:07
you know, I'm not doing this,
and I'm not doing that. "

3:02:11
And the only thing
Coach Pingatore could say is...

3:02:15
"Write 'em off. "
3:02:17
That was all he told me.
3:02:19
And I was, like, "What
kind of advice is that?"

3:02:28
Well, how's it feel to be finishing?
3:02:34
Uh, I mean-
3:02:39
Now, don't say anything
you don't mean, William.

3:02:42
I mean, I'm serious, Coach.
I enjoyed my four years.

3:02:45
I mean, we had our run-ins, and, uh -
3:02:48
- Who had run-ins?
- Me and you.

3:02:51
- We did?
3:02:51
- Yeah. Like that time
you made me run 75 stairs.

3:02:55
- I never f-
- You never forgot that.

3:02:57
Never.
3:03:00
See,you should have been
happy and enthusiastic

3:03:03
about doing your punishment.
3:03:05
But someday
you're gonna learn that, uh...

3:03:11
everything that was done
was for your benefit.

3:03:13
So that you can come
back four years from now

3:03:17
and say, "Coach,you were right.
3:03:19
"Everything that happened
at St. Joe's helped me a lot...

3:03:22
and as a result I got a degree. '"
3:03:25
That's what I'm hoping for.
3:03:27
I'm going into communication...
3:03:30
so when you start asking for a donation,
I'll know the right way to turn you down.

3:03:35
I'm sure you'll never turn us down.
3:03:39
Ah.
3:03:44
I never really felt
that he bought into the system.

3:03:49
he was never convinced
what he was doing was the right thing to do.

3:03:55
But overall he had a good career-
not a great career.

3:03:59
It's never good-bye.
