“I’ve never coached a good 3:30 guy. Individual development happens when guys spend time on the court outside of Team Practice. You don’t win Championships with 3:30 guys.” ~ Chris Beard

“You put pressure on yourself when you’re focused on the outcome, not the process. Focus on what it takes to win, and enjoy winning, that’s what I’m talking about…not the pressure to win, not the outcome. Focus on the Process.” ~ Nick Saban

Little things make Difference between Good & Great Teams: Quiet Bench, Mental lapse, less than great attitude, tossing a towel, not accepting a hand coming out of game, bad pre-game warm-up, neg body language, not giving ball properly to official, back-up player jacking around!

“You cannot Win before you eliminate Losing...those things that cause you to lose: 1) Bad Shots 2) Turnovers, cannot turn it over and win...cannot! 3) Opponents second shot opportunities 4) Fastbreak Layups 5) Uncontested Shots and Layups 6) Fouling” ~ Coach Bob Knight

A Coach Led vs Player Led Team: Shared by @SethOnHoops Recent Illini Practice, Ayo Dosunmu dove on floor for loose ball, between two freshmen & tipped ahead to teammate for the score. He then told the two freshmen, “You want to play here...you dive on the floor for loose balls.”

Coaching 101: “When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I’ll like it or not…But once a decision has been made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.” ~ Colin Powell
