We played every night. Sometimes we'd stay overnight after a game, but we'd usually drive on to our next destination.

But as a coach I wanted to keep things from being too complicated.

Back then every small town had a gym, and if itseated more than 2,000 then we'd be interested in playing in it.

In whatever sport of field of endeavor you are interested, you should do whatever is necessary to compliment your God-given talent with proper mental preparation so as to do "the best you can." The criterion should be to fully exploit your potential rather than to win at any cost. What more could anyone ever ask of you than to be the best you possibly can?

We ran an up-tempo, transition-style of game at Boston College - very similar to what we ran when I played for Arnold.

We hung out on the streets, played stickball, and did all of the things that other kids did.

I grew up in the heart of the Depression.
