And he had a lot of success, so I'm sure that, too. And I’ve gotten deeper in my beliefs as I've gotten older. He was very spiritual, and I was raised that way. But I got to be a head basketball coach at a very young age, 23. I couldn’t be a head football coach in Texas that quick. That’s how I got to be a head coach first. Well, I wanted to be a head basketball coach. Q: What first introduced you to Wooden’s techniques, or how did you get the idea to model yourself after him? But two, I want the work done during the week. I want people to look at me and almost go, ‘Well, does he even do anything? What does he do?’ Because one, I don’t want the attention. I've really tried to model that on the sideline just on my demeanor and my behavior. If you ever watched John Wooden coach, he would cross his legs, roll up a piece of paper, he would sit there the whole night and you wouldn’t know he was coaching, because all of the work was done during the week. He always said the best-coached teams, the coach does very little on game day. Just the process, and my sideline behavior. Trust the process, win the day, not focused on the result. All of this stuff I get, pretty much, I just stole it from Wooden. I would say where I line up the most in my beliefs is Wooden. I've read everything John Wooden literally 100 times. Anything John Wooden, I don’t miss anything John Wooden. Probably Bill Walsh’s book on coaching (Finding the Winning Edge). He pulls coaching techniques from some of the greats of the modern era, as well, studying the approaches of the San Antonio Spurs’ Gregg Popovich and Golden State Warriors’ Steve Kerr.
The sport also introduced him to one of his primary coaching influences, UCLA legend and 10-time national champion John Wooden, and gave Traylor plenty of extra fodder for his main hobby, reading.
