You have to have guys that will compete every night, every possession.

It's part of, I guess, one of the harder parts about coaching is you have to make some tough decisions.

Growing up in a small community where everybody knows everybody, it was a lot of fun. Great friends, great memories.

The best decisions are made when everyone is included, everyone is involved.

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.

You have to go out on the court and execute on both ends of the court.

Any player that values winning, success would be great in a system that emphasizes unselfishness and ball movement and player movement.

Point guards love it when a guy can pick and pop and make a shot and make threes.

I would love to be the best defensive team in the league.

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.

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.

Any time your season ends it eats at you.

It always starts with having great competitors on your team, in your front office, on your coaching staff.

If you are just focused on the end result, you are probably going to have a frustrating year. But if you embrace on what you go through every day and how you work every day, there's a lot that can be taken from that.

To add a player in the draft is something we always look forward to.

Those teams that really trust each other, really communicate with each other, really hold each other accountable and do it in a good way, in a respectful way, and just genuinely enjoy and like each other, I think that can be something that helps you separate when talent is equal.

Every team has to work through things.

A lot of times continuity is your best hope for taking that next step. Can you have a balance of continuity and some additions and bolster it and walk that fine line of adding and embracing continuity?

I was never an upper body wrestler. I am a shooter.

I think overall body awareness and knowing exactly where I need to be makes a big difference. Knowing how much weight to put on each foot or where I need to put my hands are things I'm very good at. Obviously with the wrestling background those are things that come naturally.

The belt will grow dust and sit on the mantelpiece, but it's not about the belt. It's about how I can be as a father, as a human being that matters to me.

Growing up as a wrestler, especially in practice, I think you get used to competing without much of a crowd around.

Benson Henderson is a professional; he's a champion. He knows how to handle himself in the cage and he knows how to win fights.

Once I'm in training camp, there's no beer, there's no soda, there's no bad food. There's no anything. It's eat, sleep and breathe training.
