We should never let ambition cause us to sacrifice our integrity or diminish our efforts in other areas. However, we need to remember that we never reach a serious goal unless we have the intention of doing so.

I do not want players who do not have a keen desire to win and do not play hard and aggressively to accomplish that objective.

I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere.

The best players don't win championships. The best team players win championships.

Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.

I don't believe in praying to win.

Make your "yes" mean yes, and your "no" mean no.
