I believe this with all my heart: The greatest coach of all time in my eyes is my mom. She's instilled in me a toughness and a perseverance and just a never-quit mentality, and I thank her every day for providing me, for what she sacrificed her life for.
From Scott Brooks
The more games you coach, the more comfortable you feel.
You really just have to come in and build the spirit up of your team by working them everyday, showing them examples of what they've done and reinforce their work.
I've been around young, talented, non-coachable players. I've been around veteran, talented, non-coachable players. No matter what you do, sooner or later - even if a coach comes in that's able to connect with them - if that's who they are, they're going to go back to it.
You learn from playing against the best players and the best teams, and we're going to keep fighting and figuring out ways to beat them.
When you don't have much and you need to be at work, there's no such thing as being sick.
You can have great players, but if they don't want to be coached, what are you going to do?
There are 30 great jobs in the NBA, and I've got one of them.
I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now, because they make things happen.
When you have an intense game, you're going to have arguments. I have no problem with it. I think it's healthy.
