Practice gotta be harder than the games and it never is unless you want it to be as a player. The coach can't drive that
I would be a very demanding coach. I wouldn't yell and scream, but I want players that want what I want. And that's why I couldn't coach, 'cause I know how hard it is and I know how hard I want you to play. But everyone's not going to do what I want.
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
I never want a coach to feel like he needs to be my friend, I always want a coach to be the coach and I'm the type of guy that wants to be held accountable all the time, so I respect coaches.
Remember, guns don't kill people - unless you practice real hard.
It's hard enough to coach in this league when you're doing what you believe in. But when you have to try to coach something you may not be sold on, it becomes even more of a challenge. It's really hard.
I do not believe we accomplish very much in life unless we are enthusiastic, unless we are in earnest, and unless we practice what we preach.
I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built.
Guys like Larry Bird -- he played so hard, he wants everybody else to play hard. That's not unreasonable. Any coach would want that and demand that.
I play basketball hard-nosed and if you're not on my team, during that 48 minutes we're enemies.
Seeing how hard Diana Taurasi works in practice has been amazing. She takes it to another level and is basically another coach on the floor.
You might not feel good, and you might not want to practice, but you still go out there and practice as hard as you can.
You'd have to be pretty hard-nosed not to feel some sympathy for the guy [Doctor Strange].
When I was a kid, I remember I used to hide under the bed sometimes because I didn't want to go to practice. Even when I didn't want to go to practice, it could be pouring rain outside, and I'd be like, 'Yes, no practice today,' and my mom would be there, and we were still going, and we'd have practice under the pavilion.
Just practice hard and stay grounded. Treat people like you want to be treated and work hard.
I don't think I was a fine game coach. I'm trying to be honest. I think I was a good practice coach.
