“Belief in yourself is what happens when you know you’ve done the thing things that entitle you to success.”

Offense sells tickets, defense wins games, rebounding wins championships.

In order to grow, you must accept new responsibilities, no matter how uncertain you may feel or how unprepared you are to deal with them.

Success lulls you. It makes the most ambitious of us complacent and sloppy. In a way, you have to cultivate a kind of amnesia and forget all of your previous prosperity.

I want to keep coaching as long as I can. I love teaching and working with student athletes and I love being at the University of Tennessee.

Hard work breeds self-respect.

Nine-tenths of discipline is having the patience to do things right.

You have to make shots. That’s the bottom line.

Attitude is a choice. Think positive thoughts daily. Believe in yourself.

If you don’t want responsibility, don’t sit in the big chair. To be successful, you must accept full responsibility

I don’t give out compliments easily.

Teamwork doesn’t come naturally. It must be taught.

A competitor continually sets new goals. He feels the need to keep raising the bar. If the fist goal is to make the team, and he achieves it, he immediately resets the goal to: I want to be a starter.

I think the only thing that I really thought about, I am always every year thinking about how I can get better, how my stuff can get better, how our team can improve.

When I took the leap, I had faith I would find a net; Instead I learned I could fly.

Everything that is done in this world is done by hope.

To be free of belief and unbelief is my religion.

I have a belief: What belongs to you, comes to you.

Focus on giants – you stumble. Focus on God – Giants tumble.

The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.

Faith is like an empty, open hand stretched out towards God, with nothing to offer and everything to recieve.

No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.
