I'm not sure sports writing is an art.

I have as many good friends in the media as anybody in sports has. It's just that I probably have a hell of a lot more enemies than anybody else.

I always designed my practice plans the night before and then made tweaks a few hours before practice began

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.

Failure, to me, is not having the desire to try. Having the desire to try is in it own way success.

You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.

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