I have a lot of respect for tough coaches.

I grew up to always respect authority and respect those in charge.

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

I've always just tried to treat people with respect, build relationships with players and coaches... build a trust.

Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.

I've been coaching the sport for a number of years. And I went through many athletes. Some athletes stay with your program for a long, long period of time. Some athletes, they have a different approach as far as coaching style or your philosophies. I totally respect their own opinions - they have the right to choose their own coach.

In order to be respected, authority has got to be respectable.

People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.'

I've never been any good with authority.
