Throughout the season, I look into my players eyes to gauge feelings, confidence levels, and to establish instant trust.

I think coaching is confused at times as being an arrow that only goes to a player. Those players send arrows back to you, and that’s where a relationship is developed. I don’t make a player, and a player doesn’t make me a coach. We make each other.

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.

A team is a fist-not five fingers.

In all forms of leadership, whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees, and your family. I BELIEVE IN YOU. Those four words can mean the difference between a fear of failure and the courage to try.
