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

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.

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

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

The real value in everything you do is in the details. I just like that quote. A very similar way to say the same thing. If you're washing dishes you pay attention to washing dishes. If you're driving a car, you're paying attention to driving the car.

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

Everybody has an opportunity to play a role, a playmaking role, so it makes it harder to coach. It takes a little more time.
