Our goal as a team is to keep playing as a group for as long as we can because you will never have that team again. It is like a dying limb, you have to prune it off and let another one grow in its place. That is the way you have to do it, but it still hurts losing these guys and that team because they and you have put so much effort into building a team. Even if you win that last game (and a national championship), it hurts badly because the players know they will never have that same special group of guys together on the same team again. Somebody always goes and somebody new always comes in.

Winning a postseason game is like winning five regular season games. There is just no feeling like it. Everything is magnified. Every free throw, turnover, shot and play.

Don't be in a hurry to change during the season.

It doesn't cost nothing to be nice to people

As a coach, you're just trying to figure out how to keep a team on edge. You've got to find that edge.

It doesn't matter where you coach, it matters why you coach.

The key to success is to do the next right thing right.
