Coaches Quotations | Page 7

Seven hundred twenty-four wins, Hall of Fame, four decades, one of the best coaches that has ever coached the game of basketball, and he'll be remembered more for the type of person he was than the coach he was. I think that speaks volumes about Coach.

Serving is an area that we've struggled in. All the coaches were aware that Sabrina had tied the school record for aces. Her ninth one went into the net.

What you did last week, good or bad, means nothing ... You're either a 10 or a one. There's no in-between. The coaches that can sustain and find a way to get things turned around are the ones (that are successful).

What we went through the past few years, it was kind of like kids being passed from foster home to foster home. You never really get comfortable. Now we are comfortable. We understand that these coaches are going to be here for the long haul and guys are buying into what the coaches are talking about. Buying into the philosophy of this team. So I think we are way ahead of where we were last year.

He obviously has a track record. He's been successful as a head coach, and that's important. A lot of coaches are good at recruiting. He brings a blend of coaching and recruiting, and that's vital to what we've been trying to achieve. And he brings a great deal of passion and drive to what he does.

I'm not desperate but I know that some day I'll be the coach again of some team.

I'd give my life to be the national team coach.

My experience with coaches over the years is that after games, after losses, or under the pressures of the job, they need to vent. Over the years, I guess I've developed good ears.

My dad started me bowling and I had two coaches pick up where he left off.

My dad's been hard on me, my coaches have been hard on me, he's just like that extra father figure. When he relates to us like he expects more, we don't look at it in a negative way and say: 'You know what? I can't do it.' At least he has the confidence in us to say, 'You can do it.' We don't look at it as negative. Sometimes you might get a little down, but you never can look at the bad side.
