You need a teaching coach who understands the game of basketball, not just some guy coming on the court talking about Xs and Os.

I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.

I was taught to play that way when I was in high school and even before I got to high school.

I'm sorry that the young athletes in basketball will not get the chance to play (in the Olympics) anymore, and live that dream.

I think that teaching coaches are the norm now.

The thing about it is almost everyone could pass that way, but we were kept from doing it by our coaches.

It's like all guys want to do is make a dunk, grab their shirt and yell out and scream - they could be down 30 points but that's what they do. Okay, so you made a dunk. Get back down the floor on defense!
