My ambition in high school was to be a high school coach and teacher, and that's still what I do: teach.

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 was in sixth grade, I wanted to become a priest.

There are always those times when you're going to be down. It's how you step through it that makes you the person you are.

Pete Newell told me 'get as much information and learn as much about the game as you can, but use your own personality to teach it.'

We lost, and that's the main thing that went wrong.

I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.
