TAMPA, Fla. (March 18, 2024) – Amir Abdur-Rahim, the USF men's basketball coach, collects quotes. For two decades, after coming across something particularly inspiring or useful, he meticulously writes it by hand in his journal.
Whether it's the words of an ancient Renaissance man (Michelangelo) or a modern street poet (Nipsey Hussle), he can reference a wonderfully diverse collection of thought-provoking ideas.
One of his favorites comes from author Maya Angelou:
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
