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

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

Players have to buy into your system and be willing to accept the role, you, as the coach, have assigned to them

If one of our players gets his second foul in the first half, then he must come out of the game and not re-enter until the second half. To play defense and not foul is an art that must be mastered if you are going to be successful.

If you're going to have to beg them to play, it's not going to work.

The two championship years were that significant for me.

The important thing is to get the right players on the team so Mike can be successful.
