Your biggest opponent isn't the other guy. It's human nature.

To be as good as it can be, a team has to buy into what you as the coach are doing. They have to feel you're a part of them and they're a part of you.

I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?

You play ball against yourself; your opponent is your potential.

You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.

Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.

Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.

I'm an unemployed teacher right now and I'm looking for a place to teach.

As I've said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators - not recently - fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.
