You may be better than the rest, but you are not a success until you have made the effort to become the best you can be.

In 1948, I began coaching basketball at UCLA. Each hour of practice we worked very hard. Each day we worked very hard. Each week we worked very hard. Each season we worked very hard. Four fourteen years we worked very hard and didn't win a national championship. However, a national championship was won in the fifteenth year. Another in the sixteenth. And eight more in the following ten years.

Mistakes come from doing, but so does success.

Discipline yourself - so others don't have to.

Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.

The close games are usually lost, rather than won. What I mean by that is games are mostly won because of the opponent making mistakes during crucial moments.

Good coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players. Dictators lead through fear - good coaches do not.
