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.

All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.

Give role players love. Praise can be most valuable when it’s merited by someone whose supporting role is often overlooked

If you have fun, fine. It's not all life and death.

I have always felt like you really don't have a genuine confidence unless you demonstrate the ability to do something. You can talk about it, but you have to demonstrate it.

All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn't any hole to run through.

I think confrontation is healthy, because it clears the air very quickly.
