“I want winners. I want people that want to win.”

“Cannot play with them. Cannot win with them. Cannot coach with them. Can't do it. I want winners.”

“Do you know what it is to be a champion? It is the ability to push yourself to the limit when nobody else is pushing you.”

“Before I can ever be a winner, I have to be a person.”

“You have to have a standard of performance. You have to have a standard of accountability.”

“The one thing that I've always been taught is that you're never bigger than the game.”

“My whole thing is, I want to have a team that is always getting better.”

“Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to people and accomplish things.”

“It is more important to be of service than to be a success.”

“I'd rather be a fool for Christ than to be a genius for the world.”

“When you're a coach you've got to go up the ladder, you've got to be ready to travel. That's the nature of the beast.”

“Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.”

“I believe the game is played from the inside out. I believe the game is won in the trenches.”
