Not Only Is There More

I Know What It Takes To Be A Coach. I've Gone Through That. I Think I Came Up Short My Last Season. Lots Of Things Were Happening Physically To Me, And Emotionally, Perhaps Mentally, Too. I Thought It Was Time To Tend To More Important Things, Like Health And Like Family. I Still Enjoy That, And I Don't Think I Have Any Need To Go Back To Coach.

Basketball Is A Great Mystery. You Can Do Everything Right. You Can Have The Perfect Mix Of Talent And The Best System Of Offense In The Game. You Can Devise A Foolproof Defensive Strategy And Prepare Your Players For Every Possible Eventuality. But If The Players Don’t Have A Sense Of Oneness As A Group, Your Efforts Won’t Pay Off. And The Bond That Unites A Team Can Be So Fragile, So Elusive.

The Real Value In Everything You Do Is In The Details. I Just Like That Quote. A Very Similar Way To Say The Same Thing. If You're Washing Dishes You Pay Attention To Washing Dishes. If You're Driving A Car, You're Paying Attention To Driving The Car.

No One Plays This Or Any Game Perfectly. It's The Guy Who Recovers From His Mistakes Who Wins.

The Sign Of A Great Player Is How Much He Elevates His Colleagues' Performance.
