Live in the precious present.

Francisco Garcia could have been a high draft choice last year, probably in the 20s. He's the best wing player I've ever coached. But he's done it the right way. He knew he had to work on his body to become a good pro. When he goes into the pros, he'll be physically ready.

Inferior guards play on the sidelines and great guards play in the middle. Isiah, Magic, Chris Paul, all get to the middle

The key to coaching is not what you do, but the way you do it. The intangibles, the motivational parts of the game are the most important facets of it.

The basic premise of my system is to fatigue your opponents with constant pressure defensively and constant movement offensively.

People with high self esteem are risk takers, but more importantly, they are achievers.

Nothing meaningful or lasting comes without working hard at it.
