There was great comraderie among PLAYERS and coaches. We enjoyed the TIME we were together... road trips were fun. I don't KNOW that there was one moment that STOOD out among all the good times we had.

It's a BUSINESS with the COACHES. It's a business with the FRONT office. So I don't get too tied up if I'm appreciated by them. Because at the END of the day, my TEAMMATES are who I play for.

When you have a GUY like CHRIS PAUL, who's the BEST point guard in the world, saying I should be an All-Star, and other coaches and players coming up to me and saying I should be an All-Star, it's an unbelievable compliment.

I've never made an ALL-STAR Game, but I've ALWAYS had my peers' and COACHES' respect around the LEAGUE.

Removing DONALD Sterling from the NBA solves nothing. It sets a precedent that will likely boomerang and harm the black players and COACHES who are SHOCKED and OUTRAGED that an 80-year-old man with a documented history of bigoted ACTIONS also has bigoted private thoughts.

Why are BASEBALL managers the only COACHES who DRESS up LIKE the PLAYERS?

A lot of coaches make it harder than it should be. Some are too HARD on themselves, obsessing about CONTROLLING EVERYTHING, not trusting their assistants, WORRYING about time.

I THINK there are MUCH bigger differences between players in this league than between coaches. There is a BIG gap between LeBron James and the small forward for WHOEVER. Far bigger than between two coaches.

There's this myth that there's no loyalty in football. Well, there's tremendous loyalty and EMOTION and respect that go into the coaches and PLAYERS you've gone into battle with. But as an owner, you have to make the DECISIONS that are the right ones for the organization, that are the right ones that will help you win.

A LOT of coaches could ration out their time. They could DELEGATE. They would make time for their family. But when I was coaching I would almost LAUGH at those guys. I knew we were working the extra HOURS to GET an edge on them.
