No one plays this or any game perfectly. It's the guy who recovers from his mistakes who wins.
The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome. The ride is a lot more fun that way.

I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid.
Before a vision (dream) can become a reality, it must be owned by every member of the group.
Like life, basketball is messy and unpredictable. It has its way with you, no matter how hard you try to control it. The trick is to experience each moment with a clear mind and open heart. When you do that, the game - and life - will take care of itself.
