The greatest ally you have to get things working well and the players performing as a team is the bench. Don't be afraid to use it, either for the star player or anyone else.

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.

Never try to be better than somebody else. But most importantly, never cease trying to be the best you can be.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Being yourself; not acting. You therefore can function near your own level of competence. Satisfy you own expectations rather than those of others.

We may not be the best conditioned team in the country, but our players think they are.

Most people think of poise as calm, self-assured dignity; but I call it “just being you”.
