My philosophy of defense is to keep the pressure on an opponent until you get to his emotions

The leader has to command the respect of all those under his supervision - and he must be open to those under his supervision. Effective leadership means having a lot of people working toward a common goal. And when you have that with no one caring who gets the credit, you're going to accomplish a lot. If you have those just wanting the credit for themselves, you're not going to get as much accomplished.

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

You have to work hard, and you have to enjoy what you're doing. If you don't enjoy it, no matter how hard you seem to work, you're not going to be working as hard as you can because you're not enjoying it.

If you let social activities take precedence over your academic activities, then you will soon lose your basketball activities.

Effective leaders are, first and foremost, good teachers. We're in the education business.

I'm not afraid to die.
