There's a line, players usually don't cross it and coaches usually don't cross it. Every once in a while you get a little temper tantrum on both sides, I certainly have had 'em. I'm not proud of those.

You lose with potential. You win with performance.

I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.

It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.

Potential means you haven't done anything yet.

Part of buying the groceries is having a philosophy and trying to stick to it as best you can, knowing that occasionally you may make an exception. But, you do so knowing you're attempting to do it for a certain reason and you have to be very careful not to try to make too many exceptions, because then you wind up as a franchise with a team full of exceptions, which is not what you want.

Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different.
