I'm Not Trying To Find Answers Anymore.

Approach The Game With No Preset Agendas And You'll Probably Come Away Surprised At Your Overall Efforts.

In Basketball - As In Life - True Joy Comes From Being Fully Present In Each And Every Moment, Not Just When Things Are Going Your Way. Of Course, It's No Accident That Things Are More Likely To Go Your Way When You Stop Worrying About Whether You're Going To Win Or Lose And Focus Your Full Attention On What's Happening Right This Moment.

Basketball, Unlike Football With Its Prescribed Routes, Is An Improvisational Game, Similar To Jazz. If Someone Drops A Note, Someone Else Must Step Into The Vacuum And Drive The Beat That Sustains The Team.

Despite Their Tremendous Talent, (nba Players) Are Still, By And Large, Young Adults, Seeking Validation From An Authority Figure, And There Is No Greater Authority Figure On A Team Than The Coach. Needless To Say, In Today's Warped, Self-indulgent Climate, Too Many Players Couldn't Care Less About Appeasing The Coach.

I Think The Most Important Thing About Coaching Is That You Have To Have A Sense Of Confidence About What You're Doing. You Have To Be A Salesman And You Have To Get Your Players, Particularly Your Leaders, To Believe In What You're Trying To Accomplish On The Basketball Floor.
