He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted.

You've got to avoid overcoaching. You've got to avoid talking too much. You've got to avoid showing players that you're the boss every time. You don't have to do that. They know you're in charge.

I can't stand a ballplayer who plays in fear. Anybody who has a good shot has got to take it and keep taking it. So he misses...so what?

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

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.

Just do what you do best.
