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.

The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions. Not me. I don't want to be a manager or a dictator. I want to be a leader-and leadership is ongoing, adjustable, flexible, and dynamic. As such, leaders have to maintain a certain amount of discretion

Never delegate. Always empower.

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

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

You don't just be a team. You become a team. Through tough games you find that you need each other

We lost, and that's the main thing that went wrong.
