I do not judge success based on championships; rather, I judge it on how close we came to realizing our potential
John WoodenI continually stress to my players that all I expect from them at practice and in the games is their maximum effort.
John WoodenNever did I want to call the first time-out during a game. Never. I wanted UCLA to come out and run our opponents so hard that they would be forced to call the first time-out just to catch their breath. At that first time-out the opponents would know, and we would know that they knew, who was in better condition. This has a psychological impact.
