sports moving successful
I tell the players that they can't relive any day in their lives and that they can't relive the minutes of a game, so they should make a great effort, a Mount Everest type effort, to live up to their potential. Success is a communal type thing, and if we win, then everyone can be considered successful and we can move uptown together.
basketball live-in-the-moment moments
Live in the moment that you are in.
team personality arrogant
I want my team to have my personality: surly, obnoxious, and arrogant.
sports country silly
I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.
basketball practice coaching
You better have great practices.
motivational sports player
You measure a player from the head up.
basketball dirty ankles
If the waitress has dirty ankles, the chili is good.
basketball college parent
I just can't recruit where there's grass around. You gotta have a concrete lawn before I feel comfortable enough to go in and talk to you parents.
basketball philosophy class
I don't discuss basketball. I dictate basketball. I'm not interested in philosophy classes.
team men average
It bothers me that the average fan, the average sportswriter for that matter, pays so much attention to what's in a box score. A box score does not properly represent the most important thing - team play. It shows some guy scoring 27 points, but it doesn't show that my 27-point man let his guy score 30.
basketball life-is
Life is what you allow yourself not to see.
leadership basketball sports
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.
basketball profession
It's a profession in which, the longer you stay, the closer you are to being fired.
basketball team personality
A team should be an extension of a coach's personality. My teams are arrogant and obnoxious.
