Any penalty - I've told you a hundred times - can be eliminated by concentration or good judgment.

I spent a lot of time with my teams, especially in the East Coast teams, talking about dealing with the elements a lot of time, and a lot of instruction about field position and those kind of things. I like that variable.

A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart

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.

It's better to decide wrongly than weakly. If you're weak, you're likely to be wrong anyway.

I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.

If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.
