When I went to high school, an all-boys' school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn't make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down.

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

That's what I do now: I lead and I teach. If we win basketball games from doing that, then that's great, but I lead and teach. Those are the two things I concentrate on.

Leaders have to give time for relationships. But more demands will be placed on their time as they become more successful. So if a person's success is based on developing relationships, then they have to continually find new ways of getting it done

I love practice. It is when a coach exercises the most control over the improvement of his or her team.

The life expectancy of a team is about eight months. Then the next year, it's a whole new team.

Embrace the hell out of personal responsibility.
