Not Everyone Has A Purpose.

The Most We Can Hope For Is To Create The Best Possible Conditions For Success, Then Let Go Of The Outcome. The Ride Is A Lot More Fun That Way.

Basketball Is A Great Mystery. You Can Do Everything Right. You Can Have The Perfect Mix Of Talent And The Best System Of Offense In The Game. You Can Devise A Foolproof Defensive Strategy And Prepare Your Players For Every Possible Eventuality. But If The Players Don’t Have A Sense Of Oneness As A Group, Your Efforts Won’t Pay Off. And The Bond That Unites A Team Can Be So Fragile, So Elusive.

I Care About Systematically Playing Basketball. If The Spacing Isn't Right, If Guys Are Standing On Top Of Each Other, If There Aren't Lanes To Be Provided, Or Rebounders Available To Offensively Rebound The Ball, Or We Don't Have Defensive Balance When A Shot Goes Up, All Of These Things Are Fundamental Basketball. I Follow It.

The Best Thing That I Think Happened To Me Was I Got The Opportunity To Have Really Good Players And We Were Able To Meet The Demand Of The Competition. And I Think That's What I Value Most.

If We Can Accept Whatever Hand We've Been Dealt - No Matter How Unwelcome - The Way To Proceed Eventually Becomes Clear.
