Zitat des Tages von J. B. Bickerstaff:
As an assistant coach, the wins and losses don't tally up on your record, so you don't necessarily have that to fall back on, so you have to find smaller games within the bigger picture to play in order to get your victories.
Grinding is a mindset and a willingness and commitment to work at it.
As a coach, the more experience you have, the more you're around players, it helps so you see how guys learn, ways that are effective to reach different people. You see the aftermath of all the things that happened; you don't just see what happens at the game, you see what happens after the game, the followthrough, and those types of things.
Conflict resolution, all those things, are important. When you're in a group environment, you have to have those. If you don't, things fester. Have the conversation. Resolve it. Move forward.
Every day, you learn something. That's the same as assistant coach and the same as a head coach. You should continue to learn. You watch so much basketball, you should see something somewhere from somebody different all the time.
I'm always for constructive conversation, meaningful conversation, not just words, but conversation.
It's not the way you want to get a job, to see someone you admire and look up to and learned so much from get fired.
It's always fun when you get to go somewhere new and you get to meet new people and get new experiences.
I watch a ton of movies. Going way back, I like 'The Godfather.' 'The Matrix' was one of my favorites - the first one; they got a little carried away after the first one. Those are two that stand out.
A lot of times, people think of selfish, and they think of offense, but you can be selfish on the defensive end of the floor, too. If you don't uphold your end of our schemes and your responsibilities within those schemes, then you're being just as selfish.
My brother and I used to laugh and say, 'Normal kids went to day care, and we went to the gym.'
You go with what you got. That's the thing about having a system, then you plug guys into your system.
