Principal Turner: "As most of you know, tomorrow night is coach 'Whitey' Durham's final game. And to show our appreciation for his dedication and excellence, we present him tonight with the Lifetime Achievement award. So without further ado, I give you, your coach.. 'Whitey' Durham."
Whitey: "You do realize we have one more game to play? Let me tell ya, this award means an awful lot to me... I might have given a lifetime to this team, but the players.. the players have given me so much more. You know, basketball was my first love and as most of you in here realize, you don't forget your first love. My only regret is, I can't share this wonderful moment with the other love of my life, my late wife Camilla. Camilla was the only person who ever fully understood me, being with her made everything else seem less important. The moment I met her, I knew that I was looking at my future -- and I knew no person could ever come between us. I know Camilla would've liked this group of boys, I wanna thank them and I wanna thank all of you for allowing me to spend a lifetime with my first love. Thank you."
