“I just know how to deal with the players different now. You've got to learn as a coach, and especially first year with new players, which buttons to push, and how to push them, and when to push them.”
Sam Mitchell
“A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong - that's healthy.”
Robert Townsend
“The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.”
Pete Rose
“If you teach a man anything, he will never learn”
Bernard Shaw
“As a child you make mistakes. As an adult you learn from them.”
Richard 'Grimesy' Grimes
“Coaches are an integral part of any manager's team, especially if they are good pinochle players.”
Earl Weaver
“You don't coach to win necessarily. You'd like to win, but you need to see most of your players, especially the ones competing for starting positions. This is the start of evaluation for next fall. We'll establish a depth chart starting now.”
