There is nothing less important in life than the score after one game of a two out of three game match.

Focus on winning the contest with yourself.

Coaches and players at the start must think their way through problems where a more experienced person would react out of habit and memory. One must not gain this experience, however, without being careful of empty redundancy. Do not fall into the error of the artist who boasts of 20 years of experience at his craft while, in fact, all he has had is one year - 20 times.

I am here to give my players the little push they need, just like they needed long ago, when first learning the art of the swing. All you needed then was a little push, and quickly you were pumping away, flying higher and higher, without any more help from the 'coach.'

Kids on a team are like flowers in a bouquet, there is always one that wants to face a different way than the arranger desires.

Profit by your own mistakes and profit by the mistakes of others. The referees were calling ball handling violations like they were getting commissions.

The kind of player who has turned his game around, he used to be lousy and lazy and now he is lazy and lousy.
