I never knew what basketball was. I started playing on the playground. People used to laugh at me and joke at me because I was so tall and I didn't know the game and couldn't play it.

Everybody keeps telling me how surprised they are with what I've done. But I'm telling you honestly that it doesn't surprise me. I knew I could do it.

I've been an assistant for seven years now and I haven't had one head coaching interview. I'm doing something wrong.

This means a lot. I'm being recognized for all the blood, sweat and tears I put into a 17-year career.

Everybody always thinks the grass is always greener.

I positively, positively, positively want to play. I've got everything else so why not a gold medal? I want to play.
