You're Only A Success For The Moment

I Know What It Takes To Be A Coach. I've Gone Through That. I Think I Came Up Short My Last Season. Lots Of Things Were Happening Physically To Me, And Emotionally, Perhaps Mentally, Too. I Thought It Was Time To Tend To More Important Things, Like Health And Like Family. I Still Enjoy That, And I Don't Think I Have Any Need To Go Back To Coach.

Leadership Is Not About Forcing Your Will On Others. It's About Mastering The Art Of Letting Go.

Everybody Has An Opportunity To Play A Role, A Playmaking Role, So It Makes It Harder To Coach. It Takes A Little More Time.

People Think I Would Never Take On A Team That Has No Legitimate Chance To Win A Championship, This Is One Of The Major Misconceptions About Me. Success Can Be Measured In Many Different Ways. . . . Either Way, I Would Find The Challenge Invigorating.

I Think The Most Important Thing About Coaching Is That You Have To Have A Sense Of Confidence About What You're Doing. You Have To Be A Salesman And You Have To Get Your Players, Particularly Your Leaders, To Believe In What You're Trying To Accomplish On The Basketball Floor.
