Why does Rasheed Wallace get credit for "Both teams played hard?" Don't almost all coaches in every press conference ever say that?

It's because it was the only answer he gave in an interview one time. He got something like 10 or 11 questions asked to him and his response every single time was "Both teams played hard".

Craig Sager ~ "Rasheed, looks like your jump shot was working, is that something you've been focusing on?"

Wallace ~ "Both teams played hard."

Another one that should be on here is Dennis Green, after the Cardinals blew a huge lead on MNF to the Bears: "The Bears are who we thought they were! That’s why we took the damn field! Now, if you want to crown them, then crown their ass! But, they are who we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

My all-time favorite coaching rant. Such passion.
