Really, coaching is simplicity. It's getting players to play better than they think that they can.

Coaching in the NBA is not easy. It's like a nervous breakdown with a paycheck.

I think I have some ideas on coaching, but listen, coaches work harder than players. The hours they put in, the headaches that they have. That's the one thing I've never liked about coaching. They have all the emotion, passion and preparation without actually getting to be able to dictate what happens.

I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing.

To be successful in coaching you have to treat your team like a family. The leader needs backing from everyone.

It's hard, or you wouldn't like it. A lot of coaches really don't like what they're doing.

I learned a long time ago how to be coachable.

Sometimes people say that coach is a winner, but everyone wants to win. You must know how to behave in victory and in defeat, to look after what is our sport, football.

Winning, to me, is easy. Winning more is the challenge.

I've had hard coaches all my life.
