It is what we learn after we know it all that really counts
Absolutely, ... One of the things I used to say is there is absolutely no excuse for a good offensive man to not be a good defensive man. You have to be committed to it.
Teaching players during practices was what coaching was all about to me.
Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.
Respect every opponent, but fear none.
You can’t do anything about yesterday, and the only way to improve tomorrow is by what you do right now.
Never be disagreeable just because you disagree.
Bad times can make you bitter or better.
You are no better than anyone else and no one is better than you.
It isn't about what you do, but how you do it
When everyone is thinking the same, no one is thinking.
