Evaluate wins and losses objectively, focusing more on effort and execution than on the outcome of the game

If I can pay the bills, I'm happy.

You get to do things for people who will never pay you back and they say you never have had a perfect day until you've done something for someone who will never pay you back.

I fell in love with coaching. I loved interacting with young people, having the opportunity to make a tremendous impression on them.

It's often been said that you learn more from losing than you do from winning. I think, if you're wise, you learn from both. You learn a lot from a loss. You learn what is it that we're not doing to get to where we want to go. It really gets your attention and it really motivates the work ethic of your team when you're not doing well.

True basketball coaches are great teachers and you do not humiliate, you do not physically go after, you do not push or shove, you do not berate, if you are a true coach. If you humiliate or curse them, that won't do it. Coaches like that are not coaches.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.
