With accomplishments comes confidence and with confidence comes belief. It has to be in that order.

Sometimes in a defeat, you can set the stage for future victory. I wanted them to feel good about what they had accomplished. Not to like losing, but to like the success that they had.

You have to work hard at staying in contact with your friends so that the relationships will continue and live on... Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.

The other thing I knew I had was a high level of competitiveness.

During the season, your team should be led with exuberance and excitement. You should live the journey. You should live it right. You should live it together. You should live it shared. You should try to make one another better. You should get on one another if somebody's not doing their part. You should hug one another when they are. You should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. It's all about the journey.

Leaders have to search for the heart on a team, because the person who has it can bring out the best in everybody else.

Making shots counts, but not as much as the people who make them.
