Had I been a great athlete, I'm not sure I would have even gone into coaching. I may have turned out feeling that my life ended when my athletic career ended, as happens so many times with various athletes.

It always amazes me that spectators want to coach, coaches want to officiate, and officials just want to watch the game

Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.

I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.

Teamwork is the foundation of success. The three universal questions that an individual asks of his coach, player, employee, employer are: Can I trust you? Are you committed to excellence? And, do you care about me?

Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

Absolutely. There are a 1000 better coaches in the cities, but I'm the best in the country.
