A Quote by Jeff Van Gundy

I think anybody confusing a system with a reason for success is making a huge mistake. Systems don't win games. Players do.

Systems win you nothing, and football players win you games.

Roy Hodgson

I always felt if you were going to be successful, make sure you get good people. You win with great players. Coaches don't win games. Players win games.

Hank Stram

A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that. I think the system is as right as you judge it to be. If for some reason you don't like a bit of it you must trust your intuition on that. I don't take a doctrinaire approach to systems.

Brian Eno

You have to show high school players that fans care about your program, that they're gonna be at the games. I think that's a huge key to success in college basketball.

Jim Boeheim

Yelling doesn't win ball games. It doesn't put any points on the scoreboard. And I don't think words win ball games all the time. Players do. Preparation does.

Jerry Tarkanian

Systems, coaches, and directors or club presidents do not win games - players do, they are the only people who can make a significant difference once that game starts.

Diego Forlan

Systems are made by players rather than players making systems

Theo Foley

Systems win! Believe in your system, and then sell it to your players.

Billy Donovan

You don't win games as a coach during games. You win games as a coach before games. Players win during games, not coaches

Red Auerbach

Coaching doesn’t start with X’s and O’s. It starts with believing that players win games and coaches win players.

Bill Courtney

I think, actually, any morality system that rewards only the extremes is a flawed system. Players don't approach life that way, they don't approach games that way, and they shouldn't be trained to approach games that way. They shouldn't be in the 'Star Wars' mode where, 'I've got to choose every good option.'

Chris Avellone

I think that's kind of the common theme when you talk about any good team. Not only do you have the talent and the type of players that allow you to win that many games, but you have to win the ugly ones.

Gerrit Cole

You can't win unless you have good people with great attitude. They are the ones who won the games. I didn't win any games. You never saw a coach make a tackle anywhere. My philosophy was to get the best players and then try to do something new with them.

Hank Stram

You can put the players on the pitch but they always move and systems change. I think, though, that Messi has to be a special case and that the other nine outfield players should support him. But one player on his own is not going to win you the World Cup.

Mario Kempes

If you are going to be successful, there is no point in having three or four top individual players, because those players will win you games, but they will never win you titles.

Brendan Rodgers

Some players thrive in the open-style, AAU games - the all-star games. But when it comes to playing in an actual system and having to 'think' the game, you see where some guys separated themselves.

D'Angelo Russell
