Once you win a National Championship, how do you do that again? How do you get the passion to do that again? We won it again right away, the next year. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't give myself an opportunity to enjoy the first one.

Pete Newell told me 'get as much information and learn as much about the game as you can, but use your own personality to teach it.'

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

It takes courage not only to make decisions, but to live with those decisions afterward

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.

Each group and each youngster is different. As a leader or coach, you get to know what they need.

The team that trusts-their leader and each other-is more likely to be successful.
