No one plays this or any game perfectly. It’s the guy who recovers from his mistakes who wins Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to find answers anymore. I’m trying to live what I know Picture Quote #1

Once you’ve done the mental work, there comes a point you have to throw yourself into the action and put your heart on the line. That means not only being brave, but being compassionate towards yourself, your teammates and your opponents Picture Quote #1

My philosophy is that you can’t motivate players with speeches, you have motivated players that you draft. That’s where they come in and those are the guys that are competitive. You cannot teach competitiveness Picture Quote #1

I won’t coach this team next year if he is still here. He won’t listen to anyone. I’ve had it with this kid Picture Quote #1

Basketball is a great mystery. You can do everything right. You can have the perfect mix of talent and the best system of offense in the game. You can devise a foolproof defensive strategy and prepare your players for every possible eventuality. But if the players don’t have a sense of oneness as a group, your efforts won’t pay off. And the bond that unites a team can be so fragile, so elusive Picture Quote #1

I think the most rewarding part of the job, and I think most coaches would say it, is practice. If you have it, a very good practice in which you have 12 guys participate, and they can really get something out of it, lose themselves in practice Picture Quote #1

The best part of basketball, for those people on the inside, is the bus going to the airport after you’ve won a game on an opponent’s floor. It’s been a very tough battle. And preferably, in the playoffs. And that feeling that you have, together as a group, having gone to an opponent’s floor and won a very good victory, is as about as high as you can get Picture Quote #1

Basketball, unlike football with its prescribed routes, is an improvisational game, similar to jazz. If someone drops a note, someone else must step into the vacuum and drive the beat that sustains the team Picture Quote #1

If you have a clear mind... you won’t have to search for direction. Direction will come to you Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in curfews, because you can’t treat men like they were boys without forfeiting a certain level of trust Picture Quote #1

What moves me is watching young men bond together and tap into the magic that arises when they focus with their whole heart and soul on something greater than themselves. Once you’ve experienced that, it’s something you never forget Picture Quote #1

The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome. The ride is a lot more fun that way Picture Quote #1

Leadership is not about forcing your will on others. It’s about mastering the art of letting go Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to coach again. I’ve done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside Picture Quote #1
