Be and look prepared. Be a man of integrity. Never break your word. Don’t have two sets of standards. Stand up for your players. Show them you care on and off the court.

"Something we're never going to do in a Fire practice is teach a move 1 on 0. We don't believe in teaching techniques; we create the situation, 1 on 1, 1 on 2, :03 shot clock, must find a finish w/ your left hand.
"Every player has unique constraints based on development plan."
Rick Majerus told his players in the offseason to “be back-doored all summer.”
1. Deny every pass (ear to chest, maintain vision of the ball, crack of your back toward the ball).
2. On the catch, make offensive players put the ball on the floor. The hardest thing to guard is staying in front of the ball.
“I don’t care if the offensive player is a non-shooter — play one arm’s length away as though he is the greatest shooter in the game. Nose on chest, and level that dribbler off.”

“Give me toughness over talent any day - I can take a tough kid and make him a better player but there is no coaching for a kid that’s soft” - Jim Calhoun
“It’s not what you know as a coach, it’s what your players can do under game conditions,” Mike Krzyzewski
Great teachers don’t give the answers, they provide the practice needed to successfully perform under pressure.
Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan: "I'm not coaching basketball afraid of my own shadow. Basketball is a war. We pick people up 94 feet because the court is 94 feet, not 40 feet. We play to live, we don't play not to die."
