For Us Tall People, The Whole Key

I Always Tell The Players, "we Are In The Business That's Very Much Like A Marathon Race Only We're Gonna Be Doing It For 260-something Days Or So." And The Race Is Something You Get Ready To Do. There's Gonna Be Some Trial Inside Of There, But You Put Yourself Through It Because Ultimately It Brings A Lot Of Meaning To Your Life, It Gives A Lot Of Energy To What You're Doing.

I Won't Coach This Team Next Year If He Is Still Here. He Won't Listen To Anyone. I've Had It With This Kid.

An Acrobatic Dunk Will Make It Onto Sports Center. A Simple, Unspectacular Bounce Pass In The Rhythm Of The Offense Will Not. System Basketball Has Been Replaced By Players Who Want To Be The System.

Coaching Is Salesmanship. Coaching Is Winning Players Over And Convincing Them They Have To Play Together. It Takes A Team Conviction To Play Together To Make Things Work.

I Thrive On Challenges, And There Is No More Imposing Challenge For Someone In My Profession Than Winning An Nba Title.
