There's some teams - the Cubs are one of them - where there's just too many fans.

I don't know how good mountain lions do in captivity. I'm curious.

Well, you're going to be dead in a hundred years anyway, so live dangerously.

Even in Texas, there's a lot of people who've never been to Lubbock.

I feel like Texas high schools, when you consider the melting pot that exists in Texas, do a fairly impressive job. No education process is perfect, but I think that, with plenty of room to improve, they do an admirable job when you compare them to the rest of the field.

It's a good idea to shave for TV games.

I would like to be coaching in the right situation if it's a team effort and doesn't have a bunch of mini-agendas. I want something where the school wants to win and values graduation and everybody wants to work together.

My favorite weather pattern happens to be when it rains mud. Dust comes through. Rain on top of it. It rains mud.

I think the legal profession is getting somewhat corrupted. When it comes to lawyers, I think it's kind of a Catch-22. On one hand, there's so much process, procedure and mess caused by the legal profession. But on the other hand, the only way to sort through all that process, procedure and mess is through the legal profession.

I guess I need to get out more.

Freedom of speech should be wide open as long as it doesn't incite violence.

I feel like a caffeine addict.

When the Egyptians were building the pyramids or the Romans were building roads, or you had the westward push with the railroads, I don't think that the guys on the ground were spending a lot of time thinking, 'Hey, hundreds or thousands of years from now they will look back at the brick I have just laid down here and say that I changed the world!'

No one wants police brutality. No one wants inequality. But what I worry about it is when a protest becomes so large and the noise takes over that the original motivation for the protest and the conversation that should go with that protest gets lost.

If you can help players become better and you can help them win, I've found that they'll always listen and they'll always follow.

At the end of the day, winning is always rewarded.

I would say we took a lot of pride in our player development program in Atlanta.

I think we've all seen it all throughout the league for lots of years: Keeping a good team together is really, really hard to do.

As the coach, you love having that great year and then you're just like, 'Oh man, are we going to be able to keep the group together?'

There's no doubt Giannis, he just wants to work and work and work.

I think going on the road for a couple games, I always feel it's better to go out for a couple games than just one game and come back. The out-and-backs, to me, are not my favorites.

I think we usually err on the side of giving players a lot of confidence and freedom within the motion to make plays and make reads and make decisions.

You have to stay disciplined from the start of the game to the end of the game, from the start of the possession to the end of the possession.

Probably the No. 1 characteristic, if you want win championships, you've got to be great competitors. It's got to come naturally.
