Chuck Daly Thoughts

Never trust happiness.
•
Coaching isn’t about X’s and O’s, it’s about managing diversity and adversity.
•
The better the players are, the more coachable they become.
•
You’re only as good as your best players.
•
Your best player has to be your best listener. He has to lead by listening.
•
Everyone wants to be coached, you just have to find the right way to reach them.
•
You must be honest with your players all the time.
•
You can reach any player if they believe your only intent is winning.
•
If you have a chemistry guy on your basketball team, do not let that guy out of the building.
