The last couple of practices, all we've been doing is a lot of defensive things. We've been going over some drills that make all of us have to communicate.

Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal. I don't ever want to come off like that. My opinion is my opinion about someone.

Performance is something we all strive to be better at. I'm no different than that. Who wants to look bad?

They say no matter how hard you work, there's always someone, somewhere working harder then you. Guess what.. I'm that someone

Coaching takes patience. I'm more enthused when teaching players who want it versus when I have to.

I learned one thing - never hate a positive option.

Flip's a player's coach, and I do know one thing, he motivates better than anybody I know. His system is very oriented around the point guard. He and Steph (Marbury) had a great relationship when Steph was in Minnesota.
