Take pride in what you do. The kind of pride I'm talking about is not the arrogant puffed-up kind; it's just the whole idea of caring - fiercely caring

If you're keeping score, win!

When players are used to winning, they put out a little more. Basketball 3rd winningest coach (regular season and playoffs) in NBA history; won 1,037 times in 20 years.

Many, many times, the kids with the less talent become the better athletes because they're more dedicated to achieving their full potential.

Winners train, losers complain. Give me twelve players that want to win and they will find a way to win.

The most important thing in coaching is communication. It's not what you say as much as what they absorb.

You can't win without the ball.
