We should not have to push you to work hard, you should work hard because you want to be a great player.

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

The biggest difficulty in getting to the top of the ladder is getting through the crowd at the bottom.

And I would be the first to admit that probably, in a lot of press conferences over the time that I have been in coaching, indulging my own sense of humor at press conferences has not been greatly to my benefit.

I've always felt that, you know, the Almighty has a lot of things to do other than help my basketball team.

I just love the game of basketball so much. The game! I don't need the 18,000 people screaming and all the peripheral things. To me, the most enjoyable part is the practice and preparation.

Practice structure determines success.
