If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.

I think in order to push kids and coach kids the way we want to coach them, we've got to have their trust.

I do have some young coaches, but I don't really believe that is the biggest problem we have here.

It's not just about a coach telling you what to do and just following it unthinkingly.

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

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that's all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

That's the big thing for youngsters. When you go, you don't want a manager that's not going to have any trust in young players.

As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.

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.

The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.
