Place the team above yourself always.

Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.

An effective leader develops the ability to correctly identify the pertinent detail or details - incidentals in a market, industry or sport that might create an incremental advantage.

You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.

When people ask me now if I miss coaching UCLA basketball games, the national championships, the attention, the trophies, and everything that goes with them, I tell them this: I miss the practices.

I continually stress to my players that all I expect from them at practice and in the games is their maximum effort.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.
