Confidence shared is better than confidence only in yourself.

We travel in Duke stuff... They can have a hat, but it must be a Duke hat.

The worst thing we can do is put the (other) team in a one-and-one.

I believe work is good. There is dignity in work. I also believe that a hard-work ethic forges strong leaders.

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.

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.

During the season, your team should be led with exuberance and excitement. You should live the journey. You should live it right. You should live it together. You should live it shared. You should try to make one another better. You should get on one another if somebody's not doing their part. You should hug one another when they are. You should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. It's all about the journey.
