Coaching is about, "How do I get people to play at their peak level?" It is a spiritual quest. And if it's not that, you don't have a challenge, you don't have a mission. Forming a brotherhood and trying to move it forward - that's what coaching is.

Basketball is sharing.

I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.

If you have a clear mind . . . you won't have to search for direction. Direction will come to you.

I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing. You have to be a salesman and you have to get your players, particularly your leaders, to believe in what you're trying to accomplish on the basketball floor.

I don't believe in curfews, because you can't treat men like they were boys without forfeiting a certain level of trust.

I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.
