If you got anything to you at all as an athlete and a competitor, you don't care what the circumstances are. You still got competition.

Hey fellas! This is what you work all off season for. This is why you lift all them weights! This is why you do all that!

Usually older players, late in the season, start to get cold.

Something goes wrong, I yell at them -'Fix it'- whether it's their fault or not. You can only really yell at the players you trust.

I'll call somebody 'dumb' or 'stupid' if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don't know any other word for it, and if they don't like the word, that's too bad.

I don't look at a problem and put variables in there that don't affect it.

You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
