We couldn't make it in practice. We missed probably 20 straight. I'm thinking, 'This is trouble. We're not going to do very well.' And then he makes the first one.
We also have to provide services to the emergency personnel who are working the search and rescue. It's an amazing operation right now, and no one organization is doing it by itself. We are all pulling together to try and help each other due to the sheer mass of the storm and damage done.
This ranks right up there, ... Right up there at the top with anything that happened with the Bulls.
The future is coming so fast, we can't possibly predict it; we can only learn to respond quickly.
It's different as a coach because you feel responsible for a lot of people. Even though you don't take a shot, you don't get a rebound, you feel like you just want people to succeed and you want to help them any way you can.
We didn't do much different against LeBron. We were just more active and more competitive.
I think it's imperative to follow your heart and choose a profession you're passionate about, and if you haven't found that 'spark' yet, if you're not sure what you want to do with your lives - be persistent until you do.
The last couple years they've been good, but it's just a great group of guys, and they were willing to take the vision that we gave them in the beginning of the season, and we started off really well, which I think helped. But as I mentioned, Andre's sacrifice, David Lee's sacrifice, their willingness to accept roles and keep pushing really was the key to the whole thing.
Our team, because of our depth and our talent, we were able to do that, and it turned into a special season as a result.
It seems to me as I reviewed the literature that, with few exceptions, the more confident were the prescriptions about how to behave with ethics and integrity, the further removed was the author from the life and work of the everyday manager.
It is an interesting balance in trying to find players to make your team really good and at the same time running a financially sound operation. That is the challenge for every team.
I learned that people everywhere are basically the same and have similar goals that we do. They want health and happiness and the opportunity to provide for their families.
I never ever gave ownership a thought. My thoughts before I retired were coaching and broadcasting.
I'm just thrilled for so many people. Our players, mostly, but the people in our organization - Rick Welts, Joe Lacob and Peter Guber and the whole group. It's just a phenomenal group of people. I think as a coach you just appreciate kind of the big picture a little bit more.
