LOU HOLTZ: "The only things that change you from where you are today to where you are going to be five years from now are the people you meet and the books you read."
SELF-KNOWLEDGE
DENA EVANS: “You are your #1 critic. But you should also be your #1 fan.”
SERVANT LEADERSHIP
TOM OSBORNE: "The essence of teamwork is servanthood."
STAFF
DALE BROWN: “Actions talk around here, so my interactions with my staff are essential in giving the right impression to the players. If the players see that the head coach and the staff have good cohesion, then the team will fall in line, also.”
STATISTICS:
DEAN SMITH: "People tend to look too much at numbers and not enough at where those numbers come from."
STRENGTH TRAINING
RICK MAJERUS: “Hard to have a great basketball program without a great strength program.”
SUCCESS
JIMMY TILLETTE: “The most overrated attribute for success in life is ability by itself. Character and intelligence have a way to defeat ability by itself. And if you combine the three, you have something special.”
SYSTEM
PETE NEWELL: “There are no short cuts to success. Some coaches in their eagerness to win quickly do not have the patience to work toward the refinement of their inherited theories and will switch to a system of play which has brought success to others. The change in system may bring initial success through the element of surprise, but it will not be a guarantee for lasting success.”
TALENT
RED AUERBACH: "Talent alone is not enough. They used to tell me you have use your five best players, but I've found that you win with the five who fit together best."
TEACHING
BOB KNIGHT: “A primary goal of teaching anything is the advantage that learning gives to people over their competitors who haven’t been as well taught.”
