There's a lot of chatter in basketball and, rightfully, you want players to be talking to each other... But sometimes in practice, it gets too verbose... so I tried to take things out of the ordinary and make them special so they'd understand the difference.
From Phil Jackson
I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing. You have to be a salesman, and you have to get your players, particularly your leaders, to believe in what you're trying to accomplish on the basketball floor.
Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.
My philosophy is that you don't motivate players with speeches; you have motivated players that you draft. That's where they come in, and those are the guys that are competitive. You can not teach competitiveness.
I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.
Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.
I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing.
As much as we pump iron and we run to build our strength up, we need to build our mental strength up... so we can focus... so we can be in concert with one another.
