Don Meyer Coaching Quotations

It doesn't matter where you coach, it matters why you coach.

Quickness more than anything else should determine your amount of pressure on the ball.

Coaching is the vehical we use to reach/ help people.

You build your program from the ideas of great coaches.

It is not what you teach, but what you emphasize.

Every day you teach attitude.

When the legs go, the heart and the head follow quickly behind.

There is nothing more important than rebounding... don't just give it lip service.

The team is an extension of the coach.

To be a team, you must be a family.

Players must do what you want them to do in pressure situations.

Simplify the game as much as possible. When you add, you must subtract.

Good shooters take the shots; best shooters take most of the shots.

The worst day coaching is better than the best day doing anything else

Discipline and demand without being demeaning.

Your program must have an overriding purpose which is clearly visible and which teaches lessons beyond winning.

Shout praise and whisper criticism.

When you watch the game, be a student of the game.
