“I get great satisfaction from trying to get better and trying to do the next thing as well as I can.”

“That's what the great teams do. That's where, if you're a good shooter, become a great one. If you're a good ballhandler, become a great one.”

“I'm not one of these guys that can stay up until 3 in the morning and get up at 5.”

“I look across the league at some of these really good teams and these great players, and you give a guy that shoots 18-footers an 18-footer, he makes it every time. Every. Single. Time. You give a guy an open 3 and he makes it every single time.”

“My experience at DePauw was about as beneficial as any experience I've had.”

“The more prepared I am, the calmer I will be.”

“I guess I could be happy in anything where you feel like there's a scoreboard.”

“I don't keep a lot of the trophy stuff. I don't pay attention to it.”

“I'm a huge Billy Donovan fan.”

“I think you just have to work as hard as you can. Sometimes you're going to fail, but the way I look at it is if you're always focused on the process, you're going to fail forward, and you're going to keep building and growing.”

“Your strengths have to stand out. Your strengths have to be perfected.”

“As a coach, you have to have a short-term memory when it comes to shooting. Let it fly and move on.”

“College makes you grow up.”

“That's part of free agency. You can go where you want at the end of the day.”

“Do your job one play at a time.”

“I appreciate who I work with, I appreciate the players and the staff.”

“I'm pretty bland. I'm not a big decorator.”

“You have to prepare well to ultimately get where you want to go.”

“You have a chance to show your true colors through adverse times. You can make a conscious decision to change things.”

“I think the first assumption as a coach can't be that we just have to run harder or do it tougher. You have to understand that everybody is a human being and you have to understand that everybody has things that they're dealing with.”
