Athletes that can't listen, can condition.

I think the Pistons have such a well rounded team, which is why they're so successful. All you have to do is look at the stats defensively and at their rebounding and scoring.

Defense can't guard two things in a row.

Coaching is like flying an airplane, there is going to be a lot of turbulence, but your job is to land the plane safely.

Offense is spacing and spacing is offense.

A lot of guys go through their whole careers and don't win a championship, but are still great coaches.

It's discouraging to make a mistake, but it's humiliating when you find out you're so unimportant that nobody noticed it.
