The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
If there's one thing I'm good at, it's gathering people together to do something fun.
In a manner of speaking. I certainly never want to lose my voice as an educator.
The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.
I like coaching.
Teaching is the royal road to learning.
I always feel like I can teach.
Once I feel like I know my teammates, know where everybody is going to be, being a basketball player will allow me to attack from anywhere on the court, get better shots and facilitate.
I don't like the idea of being a coach.
Making things easy is hard.
I've always thought that I've had a nice gift for putting the right people together.
No, I'm not coaching. It's a huge responsibility to coach somebody.
My job is to provide the atmosphere and assistance to the contestants to get them to perform at their very best. And if I'm successful doing that, I will be perceived as a nice guy, and the audience will think of me as being a bit of a star.
Most of my job and most of what I do is to mentor people. There are a lot of people I work with that I don't have investments in.
I think I can score. But personally, I like to pass first, because people love people who pass. And I'm a point guard, so my job is to kind of get people open.
I'm trying to make the game easier for everyone else.
Teaching is really very, very important. I always tell my students that you should find an opportunity to teach. When you teach others, you teach yourself.
Being a coach is not the same as being a player.
I think a leader has many roles to play. So, you know, one role is that of incubating talent; the other is that of being a strategist. It's a very interesting job I've got.
I will say I miss teaching improv way more than I miss performing improv.
You don't want to be the selfish point guard. You want to be the guy that gets everybody open, that makes plays, and see the ball move before it goes in.
You don't forget how to coach.
I take pride in trying to get 5-7 assists a game and it's a lot more fun for me to run around and get my guys going.
For me, 'educator' is the highest title that exists.
I do love being amongst creative people and facilitating that and being inspired by people. I get very bored with just competence and require inspiration all around me.
