I'm playing the guys who are going to fight. If you're not into this, I'm going to someone else

I'm a teacher, a motivator. That's what I do. And I'm a protector on top of that.

All the teams you have have different personalities, and you kind of want it.

If we're going to stay the gold standard, we're going to stay ahead of the curve, well, then, when people try to do the things we're doing, we're trying to do more. We're trying to do something different. We're coming at it a different way. That, for me, to be honest, is the fun part.

There's no other state, none, that's as connected to their basketball program as this one. Because those other states have other programs. Michigan has Michigan State, California has UCLA, North Carolina has Duke. It's Kentucky throughout this whole state, and that's what makes us unique.

The best players I've coached make really hard things look easy. Like you may say, well, that was easy, and then, well, go try it. You think it's so easy, go ahead and do it.

If I ever tell the same story twice, just laugh and roll with it because, when you get older, you start doing that kind of stuff.
