The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.

I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.

Coaching is salesmanship. Coaching is winning players over and convincing them they have to play together. It takes a team conviction to play together to make things work.

Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.

I'm not trying to find answers anymore. I'm trying to live what I know.

I'm not railing, 'This is inadequate' or 'This isn't right.' Just show me what will work.

I know what it takes to be a coach. I've gone through that. I think I came up short my last season. Lots of things were happening physically to me, and emotionally, perhaps mentally, too. I thought it was time to tend to more important things, like health and like family. I still enjoy that, and I don't think I have any need to go back to coach.
