He Has The Players Too Happy.

I Can't Stand A Ballplayer Who Plays In Fear. Anybody Who Has A Good Shot Has Got To Take It And Keep Taking It. So He Misses...so What?

It's Not What You Tell Your Players That Counts. It's What They Hear.

He Who Believes In Nobody Knows That He Himself Is Not To Be Trusted.

You See, In Sports You Have So Many Things That Aren't Expected. There's So Much Uncertainty. So When Players Find Themselves In A Situation Where Management Has A Great Deal Of Integrity And They Can Depend On My Word Or Anybody Else's Word In The Organization, They Feel Secure. And If The Players Feel Secure, They Don't Want To Leave Here. And If They Don't Want To Leave Here, They're Going To Do Everything They Can On The Court To Stay Here.

If You Want To Be A Champion, You've Got To Feel Like One, You've Got To Act Like One, You've Got To Look Like One.
