I've always tried to coach people the way I would like to be coached; positively and encouragingly rather than with criticism and fear ... I've tried to be as fair as possible.

I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete.

The further I get away from coaching, the more I know I made the right decision. You almost forget how wonderful family life is.

There are two schools of thought. You can be basic and spend all your time on what your opponents are going to do. Or, you can be very multiple and complex, put a lot of doubt in your opponents' minds and create problems for them with the volume of things you do.

I talk to our players about life and situations and doing the right thing all the time.

I can't very well preach unity and tell the guys we're all in this together and everyone's important, then cut a guy because we might improve by one percent if we bring in someone else.

When I was young, I didn't like to read. I would have much rather been outside doing something than been inside reading about it.
