Basketball Is Sharing.

Basketball, Unlike Football With Its Prescribed Routes, Is An Improvisational Game, Similar To Jazz. If Someone Drops A Note, Someone Else Must Step Into The Vacuum And Drive The Beat That Sustains The Team.

I Think The Most Rewarding Part Of The Job, And I Think Most Coaches Would Say It, Is Practice. If You Have It, A Very Good Practice In Which You Have 12 Guys Participate, And They Can Really Get Something Out Of It, Lose Themselves In Practice.

Wisdom Is Always An Overmatch For Strength.

I Expect A Cigar.....not Lit, Hopefully

Basketball Is A Great Mystery. You Can Do Everything Right. You Can Have The Perfect Mix Of Talent And The Best System Of Offense In The Game. You Can Devise A Foolproof Defensive Strategy And Prepare Your Players For Every Possible Eventuality. But If The Players Don’t Have A Sense Of Oneness As A Group, Your Efforts Won’t Pay Off. And The Bond That Unites A Team Can Be So Fragile, So Elusive.
