I'm Still Not A Great Reader, But

I Was Very Pleased With The Entire Selection Process. The Manner In Which It Was Conducted Included All Parts Of United States' Basketball, From The Professional Level To The Colleges And High Schools. Everyone Was Considered.

Sometimes In A Defeat, You Can Set The Stage For Future Victory. I Wanted Them To Feel Good About What They Had Accomplished. Not To Like Losing, But To Like The Success That They Had.

I Don't Look At Myself As A Basketball Coach. I Look At Myself As A Leader Who Happens To Coach Basketball.

Talent Is Important. But The Single Most Important Ingredient After You Get The Talent Is Internal Leadership. It's Not The Coaches As Much As One Single Person Or People On The Team Who Set Higher Standards Than That Team Would Normally Set For Itself. I Really Believe That That's Been Ultimately Important For Us.

In High School, In Sport, I Had A Coach Who Told Me I Was Much Better Than I Thought I Was, And Would Make Me Do More In A Positive Sense. He Was The First Person Who Taught Me Not To Be Afraid Of Failure.
