“Everybody on a championship team doesn't get publicity, but they're all important.”

“There's a fine line between being a player and a coach.”

“If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.”

“The first thing I would do when I was a coach was I'd get a whiteboard and I'd write 'Expectations' on it.”

“My dad taught me to play the game one way: all out.”

“The most important thing for a coach is to have a philosophy.”

“The great players are willing to give up their own personal achievement for the achievement of the group.”

“Pressure is a privilege. It’s what you do with it that matters.”

“I want guys who are tough. I want guys who will compete.”

“You can't be a great coach if you don't have great players.”

“I think the great coaches are the ones who are able to get their players to do things they don't want to do.”

“You have to be a student of the game.”

“I always wanted to be a coach. I'm a teacher.”

“I've always been a player that was pretty hard on myself.”
