If I were a young coach today, I would be extremely careful in selecting assistants.

You will never outperform your inner circle.

Being your best when your best is needed. The ability to enjoy challenges when things become difficult and to derive exhilaration from them.

We should never let ambition cause us to sacrifice our integrity or diminish our efforts in other areas. However, we need to remember that we never reach a serious goal unless we have the intention of doing so.

You've never heard of them- and you never will .

My bench never heard me mention winning. My whole emphasis was for each one of my players to try to learn to execute the fundamentals to the best of their ability. Not to try to be better than somebody else, but to learn from others, and never cease trying to be the best they could be; that's what I emphasized more than anything else.

You better play together as a team or you sit.
