I love practice. It is when a coach exercises the most control over the improvement of his or her team.

Champions play as they practice. Create a consistency of excellence in all your habits.

Players' attention spans get less and less as they progress.

When I had troubles, I'd go out - with basketball, you can do it by yourself, too. So you'd go out and shoot, and you'd fantasize.

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.

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

Don't worry about losing. Think about winning.
