I don't look at myself as a basketball coach. I look at myself as a leader who happens to coach basketball.

Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it.

I've been so fortunate in my life that my family has never been jealous of my success. They have shown true love and commitment to me by being supportive. They shared in it.

When you cleanse yourself of a big victory, you may open yourself up to the opportunity for an even bigger victory

A common mistake among those who work in sport is spending a disproportional amount of time on "x's and o's" as compared to time spent learning about people.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

If you win a National Championship, or you win two, people think you have not only seen the Holy Grail, but you've embraced it. Basically, I do what a lot of people do, but I've been able to win.
