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.

Promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble to press on you.

You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.

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

When you choose to become part of a team, you cease to exist as an individual.

Players with fight never lose a game, they just run out of time

First, do not betray yourself. Second, do not betray those you lead.
