“You’re only good as your values”
–Herb Brooks
“My recruiting key -- I looked for PEOPLE first, athletes second. I wanted people
with a sound value system as you cannot buy values. You're only as good as your
values. I learned early on that you do not put greatness into people... but somehow
try to pull it out.”
