With attitude, you can determine your own performance.
The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.
There is nothing wrong with having competitive instincts. They are survival instincts.
Our emphasis is on execution, not winning.
You have to make shots. That's the bottom line.
Rebounding wins championships, you need to emphasize it and work with kids on it.
I learned so much from Sue about the Xs and Os of the game of basketball.
Combine practice with belief.
I think I can help others just by my example.
Teamwork doesn't come naturally. It must be taught.
I've got a great staff and great support system, and I'm going to stick my neck out and do what I always do.
