The Most Important Thing In Coaching Is Communication. It's Not What You Say As Much As What They Absorb.

You've Got To Avoid Overcoaching. You've Got To Avoid Talking Too Much. You've Got To Avoid Showing Players That You're The Boss Every Time. You Don't Have To Do That. They Know You're In Charge.

I Have Two College Degrees, Four Honorary Doctorate Degrees, And Am In Three Halls Of Fame, And The Only Thing I Know How To Do Is Teach Tall People How To Put A Ball In The Hole.
