It is better to anticipate than to react.

My practices were not set up to be easy or enjoyed.

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

Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes.

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.'

I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?

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
