When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.

When you win, sometimes it overshadows a poor performance.

If the only reason I coached was to win basketball games, my life would be pretty shallow

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.

A leader is someone who puts their people in position to be successful all the time

During critical periods, a leader is not allowed to feel sorry for himself, to be down, to be angry, or to be weak. Leaders must beat back these emotions

It is the ultimate honor for a coach to be his country's coach.
