With me and basketball, it became part of me.

When you are speaking to your team after a game, never talk about the kid who was the star of the game. Talk about what your other players did to help the team win. Be sure to spread the wealth... Then have individual meetings with one to three players to praise and reinforce. Make sure you touch them.

When I went to high school, an all-boys' school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn't make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down.

To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.

Confidence shared is better than confidence only in yourself.

When you first assemble a group, it's not a team right off the bat. It's only a collection of individuals

If a team cannot perform with excellence at a moment's notice, they probably will fail in the long run.
