In 1948, I began coaching basketball at UCLA. Each hour of practice we worked very hard. Each day we worked very hard. Each week we worked very hard. Each season we worked very hard. Four fourteen years we worked very hard and didn't win a national championship. However, a national championship was won in the fifteenth year. Another in the sixteenth. And eight more in the following ten years.

Good coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players. Dictators lead through fear - good coaches do not.

When you hurry you're more apt to make mistakes. But you have to be quick. If you're not quick you can't get things done.

Push yourself to keep improving or you'll stay as close to the bottom as you are to the top

With the experience to judge, one need not pre-judge.

You can always do more than you think you can.

A Coach must never forget that he is a leader and not merely a person with authority.
