Success is best measured by the achiever.

I had a great bunch of kids. They all hung with us. The coaching staff hung with us. And we played tough every game. If you've got kids that want to play and react to you, it's fun. I'm having a good time.

Success and excellence are not the same. Excellence grows within a person, is largely within that person's control, and its meaning lasts. Success is measured externally, by comparison to others, is often outside our control, and is perishable.

Everybody likes to win. It sure beats the devil out of losing.

There has to be some self-denial.

You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you'll lose again, and then losing becomes a habit.

In hindsight, I wish I had done more.
