Recognize and reward players who put the team first, not just the gifted ones.

We have to get a lot tougher. If you get involved in a street fight, you can't lay down in the street and act like you're dead because they will kill you for sure. You might as well get up and fight.

If a farmer and his family can get up at 5:30 every morning to milk cows, surly we can get up at that time to practice basketball.

Play off your great player... great teams have a go-to player and they play off of him.

Put your two best players away from the ball and bring it back to them.

When you get to be my age, you don't buy green bananas because you may not be around to eat them.

It is foolish to expect a young man to follow your advice and to ignore your example.
