The book by Nater & Gallimore, that uses Wooden's quote for its title, is one of my favourite's. The line resonates. It's not about me as a coach or my knowledge or my 'performance', it's about transforming people, or at least, helping them transform.

The NCAA has a history of hiring 'S&C performers' who go on to injure the students. I don't understand why people thinking shouting is coaching.

Agree on both accounts. NCAA ADs generally hire motivational speakers and cheerleaders more than teachers and coaches, and Nater & Gallimore's book is one of the better books for coaches.
