It's always an honor to be ranked high, but whatever is said about you, you take it and then take a realistic look at yourself and who you are.

When you win, sometimes it overshadows a poor performance.

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

There are kids don't want to do something because they're afraid of looking stupid to their peers. There comes a time when they start protecting themselves, instead of extending. I want to make sure that they're always trying to extend themselves.

I don't look at myself as a basketball coach. I look at myself as a leader who happens to coach basketball.

When a leader takes responsibility for his own actions and mistakes, he not only sets a good example, he shows a healthy respect for people on his team

Our goal is not to win. It's to play together and play hard. Then, winning takes care of itself.
