Winning a ring is everybody's goal, whether you're a player or a coach.

Everybody always thinks the grass is always greener.

We accomplished our goal of winning the division, and our secondary goal was getting that conference championship ring.

Everyone needs a coach. It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.

A good coach need not be a great player but can bring out the best in any player

As a coach, I'm extremely happy to be able to sign a player who I wanted. Our goal this season is to win as many titles as possible. There's not a lot more I can say about his quality. He is the best player in Japan, and I think it's great that he will be preparing for the World Cup here with us.
