Quotes about coachs (16 Quotes)



    You can call it letting us play basketball. Or you can call it putting us in position to succeed. In many ways, a coach's biggest strength is getting out of the way when he needs to.







    I'll be the first to tell you, I'm a great fan, but I've got opinions. I'm not going to second guess a coach's decision, but I will say where to attack and from what angle, ... (Coaching) is still in my blood. I retired when I still loved it.

    To be honest with you, amongst ourselves, we don't talk about the GPA. That's the coach's thing, and you don't pry into someone else's business. But I know some of the younger guys who've struggled a little bit, and Charles is the example we use for them.

    He's the type of guy that can flip the switch probably better than anybody. He can be in here warming up with the guys and jackin' around and then he goes out there and crosses the line and, bang, he's all business and trying to win the drill. One minute he's putting ice cubes down a coach's back, and the next he's throwing a touchdown pass where he's totally focused on what he's doing.

    That's the coach's decision. I'm not the coach. I'm not the GM. . . . If that's his excuse for missing practices - to blame me - then I'm strong enough to take the responsibility.

    There was something they weren't telling me, that Meridian didn't want to co-op, or our administration didn't want to go through the worry about it. They were worried about the kids getting hurt, and I get my kids in shape. A coach's job is to get the kids in shape to play, and we played 20 kids.

    Every coach's goal or dream is to try and be playing your best basketball towards the end of the season. We're starting to do that... but this is a league that's hard to get momentum and build on because of the fact that everybody is so good and you just can't get two, three, four wins in a row, per se.
