Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

It is most difficult in my mind, to seperate success, whether it be in your profession, your family, or as in my case, in basketball, from religion.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

Be quick without hurrying.

I do not want players who do not have a keen desire to win and do not play hard and aggressively to accomplish that objective.

Although I wanted my players to work to win, I tried to convince them they had always won when they had done their best.

A Coach must never forget that he is a leader and not merely a person with authority.
