A leader's responsibility to his team is paramount. It overshadows even his own personal feelings at any given time.

It's always an honor to be ranked high, but whatever is said about you, you take it and then take a realistic look at yourself and who you are.

Every season is a journey. Every journey is a lifetime.

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

Therefore, as a player, as a coach, even though we might have lost in a season or not won a championship, it was like a self-fulfilling prophecy that I'm going to win some time. I've never felt myself a loser.

In leadership, there are no words more important than trust.

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