An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.

If you want to be a Champion, you've got to feel like one, you've got to act like one, you've got to look like one.

And I have been very blessed, having coached some of the greatest that have ever played the game. But if I had to start a team today, the greatest player and the one guy I would take would be Larry Bird.

The coach should be the absolute boss, but he still should maintain an open mind.

To be a successful coach you should be and look prepared. You must be a man of integrity. Never break your word. Don't have two sets of standards. Remember you don't handle players-you handle pets. You deal with players. Stand up for your players. Show them you care-on and off the court. Very important-it's not 'how' or 'what' you say but what they absorb.

All records are made to be broken.

Strategy is something anyone can learn. But not all coaches take the time to understand a man's personality.
