The life expectancy of a team is about eight months. Then the next year, it's a whole new team.

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

Confidence shared is better than confidence only in yourself.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.

In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

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