It's Not What You Tell Your Players

Look After Your People.

I Never Had A Set Of Rules. Every Situation Is Different.

Strategy Is Something Anyone Can Learn. But Not All Coaches Take The Time To Understand A Man's Personality.

I Can't Stand A Ballplayer Who Plays In Fear. Anybody Who Has A Good Shot Has Got To Take It And Keep Taking It. So He Misses...so What?

You See, In Sports You Have So Many Things That Aren't Expected. There's So Much Uncertainty. So When Players Find Themselves In A Situation Where Management Has A Great Deal Of Integrity And They Can Depend On My Word Or Anybody Else's Word In The Organization, They Feel Secure. And If The Players Feel Secure, They Don't Want To Leave Here. And If They Don't Want To Leave Here, They're Going To Do Everything They Can On The Court To Stay Here.
