It has to be fun for you when you see somebody at a distance and you take their opinion of what they're going to be like and then you go interview them, and they're totally different. You're like, wow, I didn't expect that.

A successful person never loses...they either win or learn!

You understand, you do not invent stuff on this team. Guys that invent stuff will not play for me. Make the easy play

The only thing I pay attention to with free throws is what a guy does in the final four minutes of a game. If you can improve players' self-esteem and confidence, get them to relax, teach visualization and routine, they will shoot as well, or better, with the pressure on.

The people that are around me that give me ideas that I pass along or we try, the one thing I never do, I never give credit to anybody but myself. So I take all of the ideas. So everybody thinks that all of the ideas are mine.

It's not just about working hard, it's about working together. You have to care more about the team than you do about yourself

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