Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise

There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I couldn't dog it during practice and then, when I needed that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. Very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.

Because I want every kid to be viewed as a person rather than as a member of a certain race does not mean that I'm not black enough. . . . Do they want me to be positive just for black kids and negative for everybody else?

A coach is someone that sees beyond your limits and guides you to greatness!

My attitude going into training camp as a rookie was to impress. I wanted to impress my teammates, my coaches, the owners, everybody. I wanted them to say, ?This kid is special. This kid has the right mind, the right skills, the right motivation?.

There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.

If you pass the ball to Bill Cartwright, you'll never get the ball from me.
