A Quote by Rick Pitino
When you coach Russ Smith, you have a nervous breakdown on every possession. He's not from a different country. He's from a different planet.

Every coach is different, every coach has different playing styles, but no coach made me have a negative experience playing.
I think that every country presents its own particular challenges, different cultures, different histories, different religions, different people. And different ethnic make-ups in those countries present different challenges.
The Black Eyed Peas sell thousands of seats in every country on the planet. You can't get nervous. We're all succeeding in all different parts of our careers. Just because I produce Nas and John Legend and Justin Timberlake doesn't mean it will change the dynamic of the Peas.
When a coach comes in and takes over a new program, he's adopting 125 new stepchildren. Some of them love the place but a lot of them love the coaches, they came for a different offense, they came for a defense, and every coach is different. All have some similarities but all are different.
Every college coach I talk to won't say it on record, but everyone's thinking, 'Should I go to the league?' Because you don't have the same requirements. It's different. The hours are different.
I think you go across this league and you talk to every coach and every player, and dealing with a young, up-and-coming team is much different than coaching superstar players, and everybody kind of realizes that it's a much different dynamic.
Hopefully my time in Nashville has helped me. We've had a lot of different things happen to our hockey club, seen a lot of different situations and different types of clubs from an expansion team to a Stanley Cup playoff threat. I think any coach that's gone through those things, you become a better coach.
In the Navy, you're around a lot of people from different parts of the country. They've got different accents, different upbringings. I learned to love country-western music.
Everybody's different and every person is different and every actor's different and everybody has different wants and needs, but I'm a kid who loved comic books my whole life.
It's like playing tennis, you play a different rally with different people. Every actor is different and the chemistry between actors is different.
And every match is different: you have different opponents, different situations, different conditions. So there's no one approach that's going to work all the time.
I think every year that comes, comes with different games, different kinds of players, different coaches and different philosophies, I know that.
Every year is different and every team is different. Your talent is different, how it gets is different, your leadership is different. That's one of the things that I really enjoy about it [coaching] - trying to maximize the potential of your team relative to how it changes every year.
When you travel like I do, just within our own country the atmosphere is different. The environment is different; the way people talk is different. The energy is different. And that's just material-wise, with the local culture.
Every country is different, every league is different - all the culture.
You're always struggling because you're not playing on a 53-and-a-third by a 120-yard field. You're not playing on a baseball diamond. With golf, every field is different and every atmosphere is different. The grass is different. The weather is different. You're outside. You're not in a stadium. There are so many different variables, so you never master golf. So, I think good athletes like a challenge.
