No one can really honestly be the very best, no one.

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

Too many people look on outscoring someone as winning, I never tried to get that across to my players.

Losing does not make you a failure; it is when you blame someone for losing when you become a failure

Nobody is defeated until he starts blaming somebody else. My advice to you is don't fix the blame. Fix the problem.

I also wanted my basketball players to know that I really cared about them. Forget basketball; as a person, I cared, I cared about their family.

You never want to confuse activity with accomplishment.
