Deep has a pretty good grasp of life.

You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner,

Or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser.

It is far better to be exhausted from success than

To be rested from failure.

Profession, He will develop from year to year.

This much is true; no coach has a monopoly on

The knowledge of basketball.

There are no secrets in the game. The only secrets,

If there are any, are good teaching of sound fundamentals, 

Intelligent handling of men, a sound system of play, 

And the ability to instill in the boys a desire to win.

- Coach Adolph Rupp

If we’re going to stay the gold standard,

We’re going to stay ahead of the curve,

We’re trying to do something different.

We’re coming at it a different way.

That, for me, to be honest, is the fun part.

- Coach John Calipari

10917 Eddie Jackson excerpt

What distinguishes us is not our expectation to win,

But rather it’s our refusal to lose. The difference between

This team and all the others isn’t just found in what happens

On the field, it’s also found in how we handle our business on

The sidelines.The teams we beat get down when we start

making plays.

They might be jumping up and down, hollering during pregame, 

but by the third quarter they’re usually sitting quietly with their

heads in their hands.

But that’s not how we operate.

On our sideline, there are no separate units. The defensive

Guys pump up the offensive guys, and vice versa. If another

Team makes a play against us, nobody believes we’re beat. 

Instead, we rally around each other. We pump each other up

And shout, “That’s all they’re getting this game! 

That’s the only play!” And we all believe it. 

That kind of thinking is our edge. 

That confidence is what makes us champions.

Keep that positive energy. We’re in this together.

- Eddie Jackson

Don't say you don't have enough time.

You have exactly the same number of hours

Per day that were given to Helen Keller,

Louis Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa,

Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson,

And Albert Einstein.

Technically proficient.
