As coaches we talk about two things: offense and defense. There is a third phase we neglect, which is more important. It's conversion from offense to defense and defense to offense.

To me, the most enjoyable part is the practice and preparation

When I first started coaching, one of the worst things that I think I heard was 'It will be O.K.' I would wonder, 'How the hell is it going to be O.K.?' The worst word in the English language is 'hope.'

Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.

I've never predicted anything. All I have ever said is, that we will do the very best we can.

What is the best thing you can do in a close game? Drive to the basket and put pressure on the defense! Not jack up jump shots

I would rather be thought of as a teacher than a coach.
