If you get tough mentally, you can get tough physically and overcome fatigue.

Any team can be a miracle team. The catch is that you have got to go out and work for your miracles. Effort is what ultimately separates great teams from ordinary teams.

Shoulda, coulda, and woulda won't get it done. In attacking adversity, only a positive attitude, alertness, and regrouping to basics can launch a comeback.

Am I a control freak? No. Do I believe in organization? You bet. In discipline? In being on time and making sure everything at the hotel is ready and right? Definitely. I don't control players. I try to control the environment around the players so they can flourish.

In every adversity, there is a seed of equivalent benefit.

Basketball is a game of conditioning and fatigue. That's why I believe in practicing a team to train when it's exhausted.

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