If there's anything you could point out where I was a little different, it was the fact that I never mentioned winning.
From John Wooden
Be prepared and be honest.
In the end, it's about the teaching, and what I always loved about coaching was the practices. Not the games, not the tournaments, not the alumni stuff. But teaching the players during practice was what coaching was all about to me.
Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.
You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
I'm glad I was a teacher.
