Proper prior planning prevents pitiful poor performance.

You have to learn to play with what you've got.

When I go in for heart surgery, I want a full-time surgeon. I don't want some guy who just does it part-time between rounds of golf. You want a guy who is doing it all the time and is always reading and learning about the most recent techniques.

We had 10 turnovers tonight. Each one gets worse as you go. It is like prior arrests: the 10th one may not have been that bad, but when you have had nine prior ones, it looks pretty bad.

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

Let your players know that you love them.

To win it all, winners have to be obsessive about the fundamentals and doing the little things right.
