David Parsons Quotes


The quarterback was Condredge Holloway part of the time, but Randy Wallace and Pat Ryan also played. Larry Seivers was my roommate. He was a two-time All-America (receiver) while I was there. Stanley Morgan was a tailback and wingback from South Carolina. He ran back kickoffs. He was a great football player. The first day I saw him I said, 'oh,' because I was a cornerback and would have to defend him in practice. He could play today. Andy Spiva still holds the record for the most tackles in a career. - David Parsons


Our focus has been on the 33 per cent but we ignore the 67 per cent at our peril. I don't see why we can't be as effective as finger-spin bowlers or as wrist-spinners. There is a place for the finger-spinner who can spin the ball prodigiously. We need to think of ourselves as attacking spin bowlers. - David Parsons

Kids coming out of high school are coached better today. Nothing against the coaches I had in high school; I thought they were great coaches. But everything is so specialized now. I watch Gary Rankin (Riverdale head football coach). He was a teammate of mine at Tennessee. (Riverdale) has a different game plan for everybody they played. - David Parsons


It's not quite a forgotten craft but it's the area of the game where we have been most reluctant to get involved, in terms of the specialist help the fast bowlers have received. I have got to convey a basic message about the mindset of a spin bowler, engender an interest in spin bowling and a culture that allows it to flourish. I'm not sure that exists at the moment. - David Parsons


Hopefully we can catch some water out of this deal. - David Parsons


Coach Battle was more to himself, not quite as vocal, very methodical and businesslike. Coach Majors was real vocal, with a lot of energy. - David Parsons


Coach Battle was a good coach. I think he may have ended up being a great coach if he hadn't been so young when he was hired. - David Parsons
