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.

Make your work your play and your play your work.

A coach's main job is to reawaken a spirit in which the players can blend together effortlessly.

Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We.

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

You can't force your will on people. If you want them to act differently, you need to inspire them to change themselves
