I think basketball has changed tremendously and for the better. I think that obviously the game is better. I think the skill of the players are better, the strength, the overall athleticism, the teamwork involved. I think coaching is better. We have more exposure for our game than ever. You know, our sport has grown significantly in really the last five years. It's pretty amazing.

I haven't ever really had a goal to break that record or catch John Wooden.

Loyalty is not unilateral. You have to give it to receive it.

In the absence of feedback, people will fill in the blanks with a negative. They will assume you don’t care about them or don’t like them.

The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.

I remember every player-every single one-who wore the Tennessee orange, a shade that our rivals hate, a bold, aggravating color that you can usually find on a roadside crew, "or in a correctional institution," as my friend Wendy Larry jokes. But to us the color is a flag of pride, because it identifies us as Lady Vols and therefore as women of an unmistakable type. Fighters. I remember how many of them fought for a better life for themselves. I just met them halfway.
