Coaches are going to adapt to whatever the rules are. The rules certainly change strategy.

People with advantages don't tend to want to give them up. If you see it as a zero-sum game, then it will never change. If only the people who are disadvantaged speak out, then it's not enough. I don't want to overshadow their voices, but I want to support.

Holding people presumed to be innocent in jail pre-trial simply because they cannot afford to pay their bail extracts huge human and financial costs.

I think one of the most important things for a young player's development is that they understand that they will play when they deserve the right to play.

After every loss, you want to trade everybody. I've felt that way several times.

I've argued for a long time here... that I think that one of the things that is absolutely killing parity is the individual maximum salary.

My dad has coached a long time, so there aren't too many conversations in my family that haven't centered around basketball.

I've always believed that. I'm not a guy who comes in with an offensive system, and we try to fit guys to it. I think it goes the other way. 'Here's who we've got. Let's put them in the right spots where they can be productive.'

One of the things I've said to teams and players from time to time - especially when things are going well like we had them going in Orlando - is that you better appreciate it and enjoy it because things change quickly in this game. You know, it's tough for guys to really think it will change on them, but it does.

Every coach in every sport, one of their larger concerns is the balance between work and rest. We all think about it all the time.

I certainly would not call myself creative. There are other coaches who are innovative and everything else. I wouldn't be that guy, that's for sure.

The biggest thing I learned at Wisconsin was, it's all who you work for, not where you work or what level.
