I like to fly under the radar. I don't like my name in everything.

I have seen every aspect of basketball that you can see as a player, and I think they can relate to that, and I can understand them.

As far as being on the officials every five minutes, it's just not good for the game. The officials don't like it; you embarrass them, so it's just not good. Now, every now and then they might make a bad call, but officiating is hard.

I love the game of basketball; I love coaching. The attention, being on TV, all that stuff, that's not what it's about for me.

I had a great relationship with Coach Nee. I liked Doc Sadler a lot.

I'm blessed just making it to the NBA. That was my first goal and dream. Playing with Kobe and Shaq and for a coach like Phil Jackson, and then going to play with guys like Jordan and Jerry Stackhouse, it's just a crazy experience.

Dealing with LeBron is like a friendship. Coaching, but he understands that I am the boss, and I am going to call the shots, and he is fine with that.

Things just always seem to happen and work out for me.

You work to make sure that, in the game, everybody knows where they're supposed to be at, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But if you put them in a position to be successful, that's all you can ask for.

I don't like the media attention.

I hate being on TV, hate dealing with media on TV. All that stuff, I don't like that.
