The more games you coach, the more comfortable you feel.

I love being in the gym.

We had a great preseason. The guys responded with what coach (George Karl) wanted early on in pace of the game, togetherness and defensive intensity. We've improved in those areas with a couple of setbacks, but we've improved each game.

There are 30 great jobs in the NBA, and I've got one of them.

There's nothing that you can say in the paper that should affect you.

I was the youngest of seven kids and I would not have been able to go to college without an athletic scholarship.

I've never talked to our guys about being young. That's an easy crutch to fall on. You really just have to come in and build the spirit up of your team by working them everyday, showing them examples of what they've done and reinforce their work.
