I think that in any group activity - whether it be business, sports, or family - there has to be leadership or it wont be successful.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

It is normal to enjoy praise and dislike criticism. True character is when you prevent either from affecting you in a negative matter.

I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.

I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn't try to run their lives.

Since the most important responsibility of a coach in regard to the actual playing of the game is to teach his players properly and effectively to execute the various fundamentals of the game, he is first of all a teacher.

I discovered early on that the player who learned the fundamentals of basketball is going to have a much better chance of succeeding and rising through the levels of competition than the player who was content to do things his own way. A player should be interested in learning why things are done a certain way. The reasons behind the teaching often go a long way to helping develop the skill.
