I learned a lot in the NBA.

The one thing that young coaches should do is if there is an NBA team in your area, get to training camp and see the coaching that goes on.

Any time you work with your son, it's special.

Kevin McHale was a master communicator and knows how to coach stars, and that's a unique gift because you take an old-school guy that's used to coaching his way, he'd have a hard time coaching them cats now, but Kevin knows how, and he has the patience of Job.

You choose who you want to be.

The most important thing in the world to me is my faith and my family.

I just coach my team. I just focus on coaching my team.

The people who know me, know me. Those are the only ones I worry about.

When I was at Oklahoma, I didn't think it could get any bigger than that.

As an outsider, when you think of Indiana, you think about a place that not only has championships but a championship tradition.

I've always been a goal-oriented person.

The thing that surprised me is you hear a lot about NBA guys, do they really want to be coached? My experience is they really do want to be coached. They want a plan: 'How are we going to win the game?' And they'll follow that plan.

Scott Skiles is one of the best coaches in the NBA, someone I observe and learn from on a day-to-day basis.

There were a lot of things that happened at Indiana that I was proud of.

I learned to be more flexible offensively, to not talk as much in practice.

Coaching is what I love to do, and I think I'm pretty good at it.

Getting to the NBA really helped me personally on a lot of levels. I liked it so much that I wanted to stay there.

I have never intentionally provided false and misleading information to the NCAA.

You just have to be secure and understand what your beliefs are and how determined you are.

No one would have ever thought College GameDay would be coming to the University of Houston, I know that.

I didn't realize the difference between coaching college and coaching the NBA. It's a totally different animal.

I learned quickly in the NBA that you keep one eye open at all times and one ear closed. You can't react to everything you hear or see.

In this business, a lot of coaches are running around thinking they're the reason their teams are winning.

There are so many things going on in this world that are unbelievable. A lot of gun violence and police brutality.

I'm low-key. I like my privacy.

I'm about working, getting better, and proving people wrong.

I know I'm small. But I don't feel small sometimes. I feel like a giant sometimes.

I've come a very long way, especially from my young career. From not always being the best guy on the team to just increasing my work ethic every single year, every single summer. Just seeing the hard work pay off, I think that's what's most gratifying for me.

I'd rather be the underdog than anything.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I just work hard.

I try to work hard each and every day to become a better player.

If the play is drawn up for me, you better believe I'm going to go and try to win the game.

I don't know if a lot of players can actually say they played in the All-Star Game in their actual city, their team's city.

The respect from my peers is what means a lot to me. The guys I go up against each and every night. You know, to have their respect, I think that's huge. And that's what I care most about, to have the respect of my peers.

There's always doubts about me, and I always want to prove people wrong, so that's what I try to do.

I want to feel wanted, of course.

NBA players are intense competitors, and it is truly humbling to know that my peers see me as someone who exhibits sportsmanship and respect on the court.

I just really, really hate being cold.

My belief in God has been helping me play the way I'm playing. But for the most part, I've just been working on my game.

There were doubts when I got drafted. I've seen plenty of articles and things, like that I probably wouldn't be an elite point guard. I wanted to prove people wrong. And when I got my first contract, they said I was overpaid. I proved them wrong again.

At my height, I've got to be fast.

People think of the Charlotte Hornets, and they think of me.

Of course, I've been a Knicks fan growing up, always rooted for the home team. But I really can't see myself in a Knicks jersey - only because I've been in one jersey.

Charlotte means a lot to me. This city has embraced me - allowed me to be who I am, allowed me to grow as a man.

It's very important to inspire the next generation.

When I come off the ball screen, I'm always trying to draw another defender, so where I can get my teammates open, and if not, I can score the basketball.

The future is something I'm looking forward to.

You see guys who are on elite teams. I don't want to do that. I want to create something special here in Charlotte, something that we have never had here before. I want to create some consistency.

I'm pretty shy, believe it or not.

I just want to do something special in Charlotte. I've been there eight years now, and we haven't really been consistent as far as winning. I just want to try to establish that culture at some point. That's what I want to do. I just want to make it a winning organization.
