"In a good coach/player relationship there should be a tension. It's my job to bring them to their potential, and that's never entirely comfortable for them. Maybe some of them don't like the way I push them. Bummer. There may be times when I'm driving a player when all she's hearing is, 'I don't like you' or 'I don't respect you,' but I obviously respected her game enough to pick her to play for me. My players don't have to like me for me to like them. You have to coach through your own personality, so I'm never going to be their fairy godmother. I'm going to get after them, because that's who I am and who I've always been." - UNC Coach Anson Dorrance (The Man Watching, Tim Crothers, pg. 272)
