I try to see each new season as a new challenge because I have a new team to work with, new opponents to encounter, and often new ideas and theories to try

I've been so fortunate in my life that my family has never been jealous of my success. They have shown true love and commitment to me by being supportive. They shared in it.

Therefore, as a player, as a coach, even though we might have lost in a season or not won a championship, it was like a self-fulfilling prophecy that I'm going to win some time. I've never felt myself a loser.

Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.

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

Good sound habits are more important than rules - use concepts.

A leader's responsibility to his team is paramount. It overshadows even his own personal feelings at any given time.
