My mom gave me unconditional support and unfailing love. You can't get any better than that. That's why I've never been afraid to lose.

In developing teams, I don't believe in rules. I believe in standards. Rules don't promote teamwork, standards do

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

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.

The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.

When you are speaking to your team after a game, never talk about the kid who was the star of the game. Talk about what your other players did to help the team win. Be sure to spread the wealth... Then have individual meetings with one to three players to praise and reinforce. Make sure you touch them.

I always wanted to teach.
