I want to be like Johnny Bach or Pete Carril or Tex.

I'd rather be involved and somebody say, 'Hey, coach, here's what I need you to do. Go down to the D-League and work with guys'... I want the D-League coach to learn how to be a head coach.

I want to do anything where people feel I can help make their franchise better and make a contribution.

As long as I feel like I'm helping kids get better, I don't see why I should stop.

Leading the SMU men's basketball program is an honor and a responsibility that I take very seriously.

Everyone wants to psychoanalyze me. I don't know why.

Why would you want to do something and not be special and want the best?

One place had a winning record that I went to, and that was Detroit. Rick Carlisle laid a foundation that gave us a chance to win a championship.

Look at how many North Carolina kids have played for me or tried out for me or coached with me. I've had Dennis Wuycik, Steve Previs, Billy Chamberlain, Donald Washington, Darrell Elston, Tommy LaGarde, Bobby Jones. You name it, I've had them. Whatever Coach has ever asked me to do, I've done. Because I love the school, and I worship him.

I never left a team in worse shape than I got it. Not once.
