As coaches we talk about two things: offense and defense. There is a third phase we neglect, which is more important. It's conversion from offense to defense and defense to offense.

Bobby Knight

For the first time in Rex Ryan’s career as a head coach, his offense is now better than his defense.

Sterling Sharpe

When I first got to Toronto, we were last in defense, 20-something in offense, we were the laughing stock in the Eastern Conference.

Dwane Casey

My job as the associate head coach was to make sure the head coach has everything he needs. That's my job. Whatever he needs me to do and whatever I see fit to do to help the team win.

Tyronn Lue

I think the NFL season starts with the first three or four games and all the predictions come out. You're either great on offense, bad on defense, great on defense, bad on offense. You're either going to have a Super Bowl chance or you won't. And I think after that, people kind of think everything's set in stone.

Devin McCourty

My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.

Eric Williams

In Indiana, I knew the offense in and out. I knew spacing; I knew personnel. I knew the offense, how coach wanted to play me. So when I just wanted to take over and control the game, I could.

Paul George

There's three parts to football: offense, defense, and special teams. You'd no more ignore special teams than you would offense or defense.

Marv Levy

I do whatever the team needs to do on offense or defense, whatever it is to win. And I'm a competitor.

Zion Williamson

In the NBA, it's different. You must do everything. Defense, offense, shooting, everything. I wanted to prove myself here and I will prove myself here.

Nikola Jokic

My goal early in becoming a head coach so young was to find out if I could do it. I just wanted to see if I could be a good head coach and then start learning from head coaching.

Nick Nurse

I am the first authoritarian government elected to become a dictator and then resigning as a dictator. So this is the first dictator in the world who has resigned while still quite healthy.

Mahathir Mohamad

I just wanted to change my life. I wanted to change everything. The first team that called me was Toronto FC. It was a quick choice.

Sebastian Giovinco

The longer the life the more the offense, the more the offense the more the pain, the more the pain the less the defense and the less the defense the less the gain.

Thomas Wyatt

When I first became a head coach, even back in Minnesota, I'm going to go with the known and leave the unknown alone.

Dwane Casey

Head coach of the England team demands management skills that Brian does not have. We had a head coach who wanted one thing, other coaches who wanted other things. The players hadn't a clue what was going on. Somehow we'd managed to turn our World Cup campaign into a Monty Python sketch - called The Life of Brian.
