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

Complacency is the last hurdle standing between any team and its potential greatness.

A particular shot or way of moving the ball can be a player's personal signature, but efficiency of performance is what wins the game for the team.

When you're playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder. Show the world how much you'll fight for the winners circle. If you do, someday the cellophane will crackle off a fresh pack, one that belongs to you, and the cards will be stacked in your favor.

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.

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

You can never have enough talent.
