Fun is to experience things you would not have been able to experience in any other setting.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

...you can't play any defense if the other team is on the foul line.

I don't think you play for other people's expectations, you know. You don't go and become a lawyer because your mother or father want you to, you don't become a coach because somebody wants you to.

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.

I never want to lead a team that is not allowed the freedom to pursue what's in their hearts. If you want your team to be fully committed, then you'd better be fully committed

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.'
