Don't tolerate lazy people. They are losers.

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.

I've made so many mistakes that if I don't make the same mistakes over, we're going to come pretty close to winning.

Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

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.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.
