“Some people are going to be happy with what you're doing, and some people are not. And that's just the way it is. I can't be worried about that.”

“You can't be afraid to lose! There's no room for fear in this game!”

“When you don't know what to do, do what's right.”

“You have to be able to confront.”

“You're going to get praise and you're going to get criticism. It's just a part of the game.”

“You are what your record says you are.”

“There's winning and there's misery.”

“I'm not in the long-range-planning business. I'm in the business of trying to get my team ready for the next game.”
