*Its key to get your best player to learn and be the leader.*Why do football coaches get 11 guys to execute and its hard for us to get 5 to execute. Why? There are 92-93 possessions a game. Every dead ball, FT situation, etc. is a opportunity to huddle or for a coach to impact the game with instruction.
*Always steal from each other. Once won a playoff game by running a play he saw his son's high school team run.
*It's great to have knowledge but it's more important to get your players to understand your knowledge and believe in what you do.
*It's not what you know its what you get your players to believe in. For your team to be successful they need to: 1. Buy into you 2. Buy into your system 3. Bu into the cost of the season
*Players must buy into you as a coach then sale them their role and your system.
*Be a star inside your role.
*Michael Jordan told Doc after they won the championship: Your stars will be stars after winning it they will be hungry to get back. You have to worry about your other guys. They will want a increased role
*Every single day get your hands dirty. Build relationships and partnerships
*Listen to your players as a coach. They know stuff.
*When Doc took the Celtics job he wrote notes to all former players inviting them back for games or practice. He has 2 people assigned to handling tickets for former players.
*Powerful Partnerships=Winning Teams
*Low character guys are called cows. How many cows can you have before the herd goes in the opposite direction.
*If the coach is always the leader your in trouble because in crunch time your players have to lead on the floor.
