Quote by Rick Barry
In life it wasn't what you know, but who you know. I had people who were trying to buy teams and had they bought the teams, I would have gotten to coach because they wanted me to coach. But the people who have the teams hire their friends.
Summary
This quote highlights the importance of networking and personal connections in achieving success. It suggests that sometimes, it is not solely about one's knowledge or skills, but rather, who one knows in certain situations. The speaker reflects on missed opportunities, explaining how individuals with the intention to buy teams would have given them coaching opportunities because of their personal relationship. However, ultimately, the people who own teams tend to hire their own friends or acquaintances, illustrating the significance of personal connections and nepotism in various aspects of life.
