I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid.

I know what it takes to be a coach. I've gone through that. I think I came up short my last season. Lots of things were happening physically to me, and emotionally, perhaps mentally, too. I thought it was time to tend to more important things, like health and like family. I still enjoy that, and I don't think I have any need to go back to coach.

My first act after being named head coach of the Bulls was to formulate a vision for the team. I had to take into account not only what I wanted to achieve, but how I was going to get there.

Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.

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

Make your work your play and your play your work.

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