The Real Value In Everything You Do

People Think I Would Never Take On A Team That Has No Legitimate Chance To Win A Championship, This Is One Of The Major Misconceptions About Me. Success Can Be Measured In Many Different Ways. . . . Either Way, I Would Find The Challenge Invigorating.

I'm Not Going To Coach Again. I've Done My Coaching, And I Think I Can Put That Aside.

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.

The Best Part Of Basketball, For Those People On The Inside, Is The Bus Going To The Airport After You've Won A Game On An Opponent's Floor. It's Been A Very Tough Battle. And Preferably, In The Playoffs. And That Feeling That You Have, Together As A Group, Having Gone To An Opponent's Floor And Won A Very Good Victory, Is As About As High As You Can Get.

Always Keep An Open Mind And A Compassionate Heart.
