1. "When superstars are unselfish, everyone else can be." - Eddie House

2. "Be the smarter team every night."

3. Say "thank you" often. 

4. "Your most valuable asset is time." - Mark Cuban

5. "Run more hard-to-defend stuff." 

6. "Video is the truth machine." Doc Rivers shows no more than 13 clips because he thinks players get film fatigue. 

7. The women's game evolved as more players developed ability to create separation. 

8. The quality of an argument should stand on its own rather than on personality.

9. Rules matter when they impact winning. Generally, fewer rules are better. "Never do anything to embarrass the team or yourself" and "your job is to make your boss look good."
