I'm a lot better coach when I have really good players

A lot of guys go through their whole careers and don't win a championship, but are still great coaches.

The less determined and the less motivated weed themselves out.

Coaching is like flying an airplane, there is going to be a lot of turbulence, but your job is to land the plane safely.

Athletes that can't listen, can condition.

Defense doesn't break down on the help, it breaks down on the recovery.

I do some broadcasting and speaking as well.

Players have to buy into your system and be willing to accept the role, you, as the coach, have assigned to them

The first shot does not beat you.

It's discouraging to make a mistake, but it's humiliating when you find out you're so unimportant that nobody noticed it.

I've had too lengthy a career and coached too many players to make a choice.

I breathed and breathed and did feel some calmness enter in, though it was, as always, shot with a sense of loss. Loss and fear.

It is not about how much money we make or how big and powerful our work appears to others, it is about the love with which we put into each act of kindness toward another human being.

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.

I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.

...motherhood should be like driving a car -- you should have to pass a test before you can do it legally.

I expect to think that I would rather be author of your book than of any other on Nat. Hist. Science.

I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.

Shall I tell you the secret of the true scholar? It is this: every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him.

I will continue my consistent record of voting for lower taxes, less spending and fewer regulations to make our government more effective and efficient while upholding our Constitution.

I know there are people who believe you should forgive and forget. For the record, I'd like to say I'm a big fan of forgiveness as long as I'm given the opportunity to get even first.
