The best thing that I think happened to me was I got the opportunity to have really good players and we were able to meet the demand of the competition. And I think that's what I value most.

Not only is there more to life than basketball, there's a lot more to basketball than basketball.

And yet as a coach, I know that being fixated on winning (or more likely, not losing) is counterproductive, especially when it causes you to lose control of your emotions. What’s more, obsessing about winning is a loser’s game: The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome. The ride is a lot more fun that way.

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.
