You never want to put yourself in a position where you can bring negativity to yourself or the organization and your teammates.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
Being the youngest, my siblings took great care of me and pushed me in all the right directions.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
My mom, raising seven children, was such a steady and firm influence. You did not mess around with my mom. Nobody in the neighborhood or whole town did. She had that steadiness and firmness but love at the same time.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I'm very appreciative of Atlanta. I love living here. I love coaching here.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
On a lot of teams that bottom guy, that weakside defender, is critical if something happens and you're broken down off the dribble or you're beat. That person has got to be there.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
When you make that transition to being a head coach, there's so much more you have to think of and consider. You're constantly thinking, 'How does this impact our culture? How does this impact us two, three steps down the road?' It's thinking big picture, and all of those things come with time. It's a great challenge.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
The health and well-being of our players are a critical component of our ability to succeed.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
We talk a lot about having high-character guys and high-IQ guys, and I think that's one of the characteristics of those types of people or players that if and when something doesn't go their way, their reaction usually is to come back and fight harder, dig deeper, do more.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
There's an attention to detail that you learn in the video room that, I don't want to say you can't get anywhere else, but it's a huge part of their foundation.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I can tell you, those video guys are truly trained to see the spacing, the timing, how offenses progress, what are teams doing defensively.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I think that coming to work every day and what we try and do and accomplish, there's a seriousness to it.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
It's not easy to go out and win and compete and play against the best teams, the best players in the league, and we take that very seriously.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
My father, he's meant so much to me. He's always on me to be thankful and humble to everyone who's helped me and helped the team be successful. There were many things that he said and preached throughout my life that are now part of my mindset. It's a big part of who I am.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I love what my dad taught me and modeled for me - not just with coaching but as a husband, as a father, as a teacher, as someone in our community that cared and worked to make things better. I watched my dad and learned a lot about a lot of things, not just basketball.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I remember as a really young child, watching his energy on the sideline and watching him get excited, his body movement, the way he reacted. It's fun to hear other people tell stories about my dad and the things he did in games and the way he'd get upset with officials.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I would have never ever dreamed of my career playing out the way it did.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
The dream or the goal was to play in college. That was exclusively my focus.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
The only social rule you recognized in high school was that Mormon girls don't date non-Mormons.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I think individually, Al Horford is very special, very unique. He's a guy that can kind of be the backbone of the defense.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
The great Chicago teams when Tex Winter and Phil Jackson were there - the triangle was just amazing. I know Michael Jordan was great, but everybody touched the ball, everybody cut, everybody moved. It was just so hard to guard.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
My dad was a huge influence on me. He taught me how to play and a lot about the game. He was very passionate and intense. As I started coaching, he wanted to tell me about all of the presses and man-to-man coverages and big philosophical things.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
I literally remember going in my backyard and my dad teaching me Paul Westphal moves.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
If you have the right kind of guys who are pushing each other and at the same time supporting each other, it's pretty cool.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
My dream was to be an assistant college coach, maybe a head coach, maybe at a Division III school.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
One of the great things about working for Pop, not just me but everybody, is he wants you to give your opinions. He almost wants you to disagree with him. It's part of the whole process.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
Each of us can play a role in eradicating hunger in our communities, and together with Feeding Wisconsin we look forward to raising awareness and having a positive impact on the work to help this important cause.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
It's part of, I guess, one of the harder parts about coaching is you have to make some tough decisions.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
Growing up in a small community where everybody knows everybody, it was a lot of fun. Great friends, great memories.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
The best decisions are made when everyone is included, everyone is involved.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
As a head coach you have to think about the entire group with every decision you make. Up and down the line, front and back, it has to be about the entire group and the bigger picture.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
Any player that values winning, success would be great in a system that emphasizes unselfishness and ball movement and player movement.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
Point guards love it when a guy can pick and pop and make a shot and make threes.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
Playing unselfish basketball is a core component of our basketball culture and high assist totals are a great indicator that we are playing the right way.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
For coaches, we always look for those examples of guys who put in a lot of time and effort during the summer and really work and it carries over for them to take their game to the next level.
Quote by -Mike Budenholzer
It always starts with having great competitors on your team, in your front office, on your coaching staff.
