In basketball - as in life - true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way.

I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing.

I think the most rewarding part of the job, and I think most coaches would say it, is practice. If you have it, a very good practice in which you have 12 guys participate, and they can really get something out of it, lose themselves in practice.

If you give the future all your attention, the present will pass you by.

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.

Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing.

Not everyone has a purpose.
