I always think I put more pressure on myself than I feel from anywhere else.
I'm a good person and a good guy.
I'm a good coach. I do the right things for my players, and I try to support them; I try to help them almost to a fault.
Tweeting - let's be honest: it's like I'm the center of the universe; it's all about me. Everybody is listening to my every thought, and my current thought at this very moment is... it's ridiculous.
If you went and did a microscopic investigative report at Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, Carolina, Indiana - what are you talking about? You're always going to have some stuff come out that will be looked upon as not being good.
I watch a lot of games and analyze a lot.
You should want to run if you're a player, shouldn't you, on offense?
That's AAU ball. That's what you do: 'I want to get out there first and score.' You see it in games during the summer. There are not a lot of great blockouts going on.
Thing about New York is it is so exciting with so much to do.
I love to visit New York, but Los Angeles, to me, is a great city.
Winning, to me, is relief; losing is like dying. It's gut-wrenching.
I have a strong belief in God.
We need to play tough defense and have a sound offense. But mostly, we have to outrebound the other team.
You have more control of things if you play defense. And you can control how you play defense, too, with effort and preparation.
I just like to win.
Putting your feet in ice cold water? That's not fun.
There are things that I will think about, that I have been a part of because I was the head coach at UCLA, that I will always cherish. I grew up loving this program as a kid.
I don't always show my emotion. You don't always get to see it.
I can't think of much higher praise to give a player than to say, 'This point guard reminds me of Jason Kidd.'
One thing a shooter loves is to make his first shot. He makes his first shot from three; that builds confidence.
