The Truth Is That Many

First Of All, What Happens Is, When You're Good At Something, You Spend A Lot Of Time With It. People Identify You With That Sport, So It Becomes Part Of Your Identity.

I Didn't Miss Any Games, But Coach Knight Came Out And Spent Three Days With My Family In Chicago When My Dad Passed Away. I Came Back And Played And It Was Good Therapy For Me. Having A Basketball Family And A Coach Who Understood And Actually Became Like A Father Figure For That Time Was Comforting To Me, And I'm Sure That Will Be Comforting To Coleman.

Leaders Should Be Reliable Without Being Predictable. They Should Be Consistent Without Being Anticipated

Talent Is Important. But The Single Most Important Ingredient After You Get The Talent Is Internal Leadership. It's Not The Coaches As Much As One Single Person Or People On The Team Who Set Higher Standards Than That Team Would Normally Set For Itself. I Really Believe That That's Been Ultimately Important For Us.

A Basketball Team Is Like The Five Fingers On Your Hand. If You Can Get Them All Together, You Have A Fist. That's How I Want You To Play.
