No head coach does it by himself. I don't care who the coach is or how great he might be. Mike Krzyzewski is is a great friend of mine and he's a great coach but he has great, great assistant coaches and they bring a lot to the table and that's what it takes.
Mike D'Antoni is one of the best offensive coaches in the whole game of basketball, by far.
Mike D'Antoni was a cool coach, but he was just a bad person. He can coach. He was just mean for no reason.
I'm not coach D'Antoni. I have to coach to my version of pace-and-space. We all steal from each other, but a lot of us have stolen from him.
The Big Ten has great offensive lines and great offensive-line coaching. It prepared me pretty well for the NFL.
In 1990, I was an assistant coach at Providence College, but I knew I wanted to get married and have children. I did not think I could be a great basketball coach and be a great mom.
What a great teacher, a great parent, a great psychotherapist and a great coach have in common is a deep belief in the potential of the person with whom they are concerned. They relate to the person from their vision of his or her worth and value.
Don Cooper is an incredible person. He's not only a great pitching coach, but he's a great human being and a great friend.
Flip Saunders is a great coach and a great guy. Glen Taylor is the same way. He's a great human being.
I got to work for some great administrators at great institutions, and I had an opportunity to coach great players. Iowa is no different.
God blessed me with a great wife, a great family, and a great coach.
I think Mike Gibbons was probably the greatest boxer that ever put a glove on. They called him The Wizard, The Phantom of the ring and he was that. I boxed with Mike about ten years and I never really hit him a hard punch during the time. Repeating again, Mike was one of the great boxers of the age.
I feel like I've been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.
Mike Wallace's interviews may make great television, but they don't produce great evidence.
You have to have a great offensive line, great quarterback and guys around you that believe in you and help you.
I coach at Rutgers University and help out there as a part-time assistant coach. I feel like the coach is kind of in me, and it would also be great exposure, so I'd be down for it, for sure.
