Well, it speaks to the character of the players more than anything. Bob Myers and his staff have done an incredible job of putting together this roster. I was well aware of the versatility that the roster had, but as I got to know the players I realized they had what it took spiritually, emotionally. They were united. They wanted to win. They were close.

I have always been very comfortable behind a microphone. I love talking about basketball, I love being around people, I love being around the game, the travel and the excitement around the arena.

I never ever gave ownership a thought. My thoughts before I retired were coaching and broadcasting.

I've been blessed with an amazing group of guys in my first year, I can't believe how lucky I am.

For them to have the season that they had, for them to have us on the ropes ... Congrats to the Cavs.

I'm just thrilled for so many people. Our players, mostly, but the people in our organization - Rick Welts, Joe Lacob and Peter Guber and the whole group. It's just a phenomenal group of people. I think as a coach you just appreciate kind of the big picture a little bit more.

Our team, because of our depth and our talent, we were able to do that, and it turned into a special season as a result.
