I Have Always Maintained That

To Be As Good As It Can Be, A Team Has To Buy Into What You As The Coach Are Doing. They Have To Feel You're A Part Of Them And They're A Part Of You.

When We're Playing A Good Scoring Center, We Tell Our Team That It Is Not Our Defensive Man's Job To Stop The Center. It's The Responsibility Of Our Perimeter People To Stop The Ball From Going Inside.

You Don't Play Against Opponents, You Play Against The Game Of Basketball.

And I Would Be The First To Admit That Probably, In A Lot Of Press Conferences Over The Time That I Have Been In Coaching, Indulging My Own Sense Of Humor At Press Conferences Has Not Been Greatly To My Benefit.

A Great Way To Test The Conditioning Of Your Team Is The Two-mile Run.
