It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

It's always about focusing not on the mistakes but on the lessons learned from them.

No individual should take the blame for a loss, because no individual should get the credit for a victory.

Never confuse activity with accomplishment.

Work without joy is drudgery. Drudgery does not produce champions, nor does it produce great organizations.

When you give total effort - everything you have - the score can never make you a loser. And when you do less, it can't somehow magically turn you into a winner.

Never did I want to call the first time-out during a game. Never. I wanted UCLA to come out and run our opponents so hard that they would be forced to call the first time-out just to catch their breath. At that first time-out the opponents would know, and we would know that they knew, who was in better condition. This has a psychological impact.
