Focus on the Player and the Process

"You better be able to relate to the players.  You can be great with Xs and Os but if you can't relate to the players, you won't be able to get them to buy-in and execute it on the floor.  It doesn't matter how much you know, but what your players are able to do on the court.  If you can't relate to the players - and if you're not willing to spend time with the players away from the floor to build that relationship, then you won't be able to get the players to do what you need them to do for the team to have success."
