A coach should never be afraid to ask questions of anyone he could learn from.

The goal is to make practice more difficult, physically/mentally, than anything your players will face during a game.

Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes.

Defense is all about helping. No one can guard a good dribbler, You have to walk kids through how to help and then how to help the helper

At one point, I said to the officials that you guys haven't called walking for 20 years, now you don't know what it is. When you call walking, you're about half right.

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.

I also believe that when something negative comes out about you in the media, that's only one person's opinion. These guys sometimes believe they've been ordained from on high to give the general opinion of the populace, and that just isn't the case.
