Put the Team Before Yourself.

I think that it was a great feeling and probably a little bit more special because of the length of time that had passed before we won, but I think more importantly, it was just a great feeling because this team had such strong leadership and they had great chemistry.

Admit to and make yourself accountable for mistakes. How can you improve if you're never wrong?

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

Teamwork doesn't come naturally. It must be taught.

I won 1,098 games, and eight national championships, and coached in four different decades. But what I see are not the numbers. I see their faces.

I never ask Candace Parker if she was thinking about leaving because I never had any reason to believe she would. I just kept the focus on the team and on Candace and the role she played for us.
