A leader must listen to those under their supervision.

I really believe that happiness comes from things that cannot taken away from you.

People ask me if I'd permit fancy things, like dunks. Well, if they did dunk, it was with no fancy flair. No behind-the-back dribbles or passes unless necessary. If it was for show, you were on the bench.

I continually stress to my players that all I expect from them at practice and in the games is their maximum effort.

While I made my living as a coach, I have lived my life to be a mentor-and to be mentored!-constantly.Everything in the world has been passed down. Every piece of knowledge is something that has been shared by someone else. If you understand it as I do, mentoring becomes your true legacy. It is the greatest inheritance you can give to others. It is why you get up every day-to teach and be taught.

Ability is a poor man's wealth.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
