If you're a competitor, you want to win. That's enough to play for, simple as that.

There should not be an entitlement that because you get paid the most money, that you should finish every game. But if you don't do it, then the agents are going to call, and the players are going to mope, and so you negotiate that. It's a compromise as a coach.

When you're on court, you just want to win. You're a competitor.

Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win.

I'm always a competitor. I'm not there just to have a good time. I want to play well and perform well.

The players fire the coach, and as long as I'm on the same wavelength with them, I can coach as long as I want to.

I think that players play, and they compete, and it's not about incentives.

People respected my experience, they hire me, they pay me what I am worth to coach their team.

I need to be competing. Coaching is good, but I like to be in the fire.

You can live by biblical principles, and you can teach by those principles and still be a winner. So many coaches think you've got to kick your players in the rear end. You've got to cuss them out. You've got to hit them across the head. No. You don't have to do that.
