Just Do What You Do Best.

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

To Be A Successful Coach You Should Be And Look Prepared. You Must Be A Man Of Integrity. Never Break Your Word. Don't Have Two Sets Of Standards. Remember You Don't Handle Players-you Handle Pets. You Deal With Players. Stand Up For Your Players. Show Them You Care-on And Off The Court. Very Important-it's Not 'how' Or 'what' You Say But What They Absorb.
