This one-of-a-kind coach has so much to say. That’s why study these Red Auerbach quotes and devour them. The man responsible for one of the (if not the) greatest franchise in the world of sports.
With his unique approach to the game of basketball and never before seen coaching, he was able to achieve what many would need 2 lifetimes to do.
“An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.”
“He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted.”
“Just do what you do best.”
“To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.”
“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
“Most of your great coaches do some teaching and developing of players. Phil may be able to do it, but he hasn’t shown it. His teams have been ready-made.”
“The commercial class has always mistrusted verbal brilliancy and wit, deeming such qualities, perhaps with some justice, frivolous and unprofitable.”
“Natural abilities are like natural plants; they need pruning by study.”
“The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.”
