They Said It

? Woody Hayes, Ohio State football coach, after his punter was hit hard in a game but no penalty was called: "I guess they only consider it roughing when one guy grabs the punter's leg, then another guy grabs the punter's other leg and they say to him, 'Now make a wish.' "

? Bill van Breda Kolff, Los Angeles Laker coach, after watching mild-mannered Mel Counts wander around: "Mel, I'm going to make you so mad that you will take a punch at me—and, in all probability, you'll miss."

? Joe DiMaggio, on his new appointment as vice president of the Athletics: "Exploit me? Aren't we all exploited in a way when we take a job? I found Finley to be very nice and, until proved otherwise, I'll go along with him."
