I'd like my reputation to stay as it is and to be remembered for a wonderful decade.

In every contest, there comes a moment that separates winning from losing. The true warrior understands and seizes that moment.

Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!

In all the research you do as a coach, studying other coaches and championship-type situations, you find that all those teams combined talent with great defense. You've got to stop other teams to win.

We sometimes need adversity to fathom our true depths.

We measure areas of performance that are often ignored: jumping in pursuit of every rebound even if you don't get it, swatting at every pass, diving for loose balls, letting someone smash into you in order to draw the foul. These 'effort' statistics are also stored on computer. Effort is what ultimately separates journeyman players from impact players. Knowing how well a player executes all these little things is the key to unlocking career-best performances.

There's no such thing as coulda, shoulda, or woulda. If you shoulda and coulda, you woulda done it.
