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.

Do passing drills that come from your offense.

Well, your greatest joy definitely comes from doing something for another, especially when it was done with no thought of something in return.

When you hurry you're more apt to make mistakes. But you have to be quick. If you're not quick you can't get things done.

I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere.

Consideration for others brings many things.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
