Dick Bennett quotes about
basketball philosophy frustration
Most of my learning and philosophy regarding coaching basketball was developed after great frustration.
basketball successful coaching
For us to be successful on defense, we must get back and stop the basketball, eliminate easy baskets, keep the ball out of the lane, and bother the shooters.
play discipline incredibles
It is a paradoxical statement, but it takes incredible personal discipline to play with great freedom.
basketball team kids
Players who are committed to the team first will find a way to help when things are going bad, they will do whatever it takes. Kids that are more into themselves will not do that. They will take care of themselves and get more individual when things are tough.
basketball victory defeat
We cannot accept in victory what we would not accept in defeat.
plays
They made the plays they had to make and we didn't.
inherited
I don't even look at those things. There were so many streaks that I inherited here, and Wisconsin. When I was at Wisconsin, there were so many streaks there, I kind of let them go in one ear, and out the other.
alternate created creates figured found given josh locked shots
They figured him out. Josh is not one who creates his own shot. His shots have been created off of our screens, and we've given him as many as possible. But they've locked him out by just concentrating on him and we haven't found a lot of alternate scoring.
pleasure serve
It has been my pleasure to serve WSU in these years.
aside emotions fact kids maybe owned
I don't know what that is aside from the emotions of the game. Maybe the fact that they have pretty much owned us over the years. I'm not sure. I do know . . . that they've got a lot of young kids out there.
existence
That's been the story of our existence here. Almost, but not quite.
basketball practice coaching
Practice to beat the best.
basketball real team
I concluded some time ago that a major part of success of a team, or of an individual, has a great deal to do with the intangible qualities possessed. The real key is in how a person see himself (humility), how he feels about what he does (passion), how he works with others (unity), how he makes others better (servanthood), and how he deals with frustration and success, truly learning from each situations (thankfulness). I believe those concepts are the essence of a good player, team, coach, or individual in any capacity in life.
teach i-can
I must learn what I can to teach what I must.
