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.

Make sure that team members know they are working with you, not for you.

Make each day a masterpiece. Don't think your best days are out there somewhere. Why not today? Why can't today be a great day? It can if you believe it will.

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

Details create success.

Discipline yourself - so others don't have to.

You must have respect, which is a part of love, for those under your supervision. Then they will do what you ask and more.
