As another summer is upon us, take some
time to reflect on all those friends in your
life that have helped you become who you
are. Life is too short. Make a commitment
to yourself to spend more time on those
who are in your inner circle and less time
on the meaningless people who try to
bring you down. You can never get back
that time you waste worrying about the
intent of those who are not your friends.
Expect the best and ,
Don’t Stop Believing!
Stan Jones
Associate Head Basketball Coach
His love for you is tops when you’re at the bot-
tom. He looks you up when the rest of the world looks down on you. He lets you step on
his toes to help you get on your feet. He shows you the meaning of friendship - not the mean-
ness of it. He shoots straight with you - not at you. He knows most of your faults and - cares
least.
When you’re wrong he tells it to you - not the rest of the world. He doesn’t complain when
you neglect him - but beefs when you neglect yourself. When you flop he never splits with
you - except what he has. When you achieve success - all he wants of it - is to know it. He
lets you worry him more than his enemies do. He is the best press agent because - he doesn’t have to be paid to boost you.
He works his fingers to the bone to give you a
hand. His friendship is the kind you can’t lose - even when you deserve to. He stands behind
you when you’re taking bows - and beside you when you are taking boos.
- Glen E. Moor

Be organized, be very detailed.
Top projects need thorough
attention; you can’t afford to
miss anything - take the time
to cover it completely.

“There are a lot of coaches in the
NBA skilled at execution and funda-
mentals. They draw magnificent
plays… But I’ve always been about
the intuitive connection players
have for one another. That bond
they create is what makes (great)
teams what they are.”
- Phil Jackson
“You can only go so far without
killer competitiveness.”
- Jeff Van Gundy
“I don’t want to hear about the
history of what you’ve done. You
have to give yourself to this team
and you have to trust my system.
Some of it may not fit what you do,
but it’s going to be good for the
team. If we have an agenda-less
team, we have a chance. If we
don’t, we have no chance.”
- Doc Rivers
“At the end of the day to stick in
the NBA you have to do a whole
lot of things pretty well or at least
one thing very well.”
- NBA Western
Conference GM
“The best statement I can make
about a player is that I trust him.”

Be an even better listener than
talker.
Be thoroughly prepared for
meetings and presentations.
If you have to get up at 3 a.m.
to do the job the right way and
the best way, then get up at 3
a.m.
Be on constant lookout for
new trends. Know about them
before anyone else and then
put sustained thought to how
they will affect you and what
you’re doing.
Reid played in 127 career games -
the fifth highest total in school his-
