Football Quote by Tom Thibodeau

“You run the floor. Kick the ball out, repost, keep moving around, search it out, get to the offensive board. You've got to sprint around. You learn when teams are double-teaming you - that's what you have to do. You have to make the right play.” quote by Tom Thibodeau
