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

You better educate yourself. You don't stand in the front of the line unless you're up there because you know everything that's involved.

The biggest thing is you cannot be afraid to miss the game-winning shot. It's not that you want to make it; it's that you're not afraid to miss it. You're not afraid to make a play and it go wrong. You have to have amnesia. You're not afraid to make a play and it go wrong.

That's America, competition.

Having a kind heart, you care about everybody else. You don't eat everything. Don't be a big. People in the community, be nice. As coaches, we want to see guys develop those kind of things, take those things with them when they leave our programs.

You have to lose yourself in the team and you have to lose yourself in the game

You don't have pressure on yourself to have to go nuts.
