Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.

Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.

The fun never goes out, but it changes with the years, with winning and losing.

If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood.

But there's one thing about quitters you have to guard against - they are contagious. If one boy goes, the chances are he'll take somebody with him, and you don't want that. So when they would start acting that way, I used to pack them up and get them out, or embarrass them, or do something to turn them around.

Most coaches study the films when they lose. I study them when we win -to see if I can figure out what I did right
