I am about helping each and every student athlete that selects to wear the orange, you know, be successful at Tennessee individually and as a team. That type of record is certainly not anything that I have aspirations to reach.

It's my experience that people rise to the level of their own expectations and of the competition they seek out.

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

You can't always be the most talented person in the room. But you can be the most competitive

I love teaching I think more than anything. It's the opportunity to just teach young people and teach the game. You teach more than basketball. You teach life skills. The teaching part of it is something that I am passionate about. I look forward to every practice. A lot of people say well, I enjoy coaching, but I see myself as more as a teacher.

You can't pick and choose the days that you feel like being responsible. It's not something that disappears when you're tired.

Success is all a matter of perspective. It depends on where you start from, and where you want to end up.
