There are some real memorable highlights in my history that, in my mind, are such milestones. Winning a national championship in college and being on the Olympic platform getting a gold medal. Visiting the Hall of Fame and going into the Hall of Fame. ”

A lot of players were going to Europe, but there were always stories of teams not being able to pay, and the players and girls were stuck with no money for airfare to come home. So I got a nice contract from Japan and decided to play there. ”

I don't think I understood how deep the Big East was. That was probably something I wasn't prepared for. It's not easy to part rank and make the first step into the middle of the pack. ”

The draft not being exceptionally deep, you basically take the best player available. ”

I'm not used to being on the bench. ”

I have been with some great organizations, crossed paths with special people, and made numerous lasting relationships. ”

I will miss the ladies and the passion of the Sun fans. I was proud to serve as their head coach. ”

There's a beautiful thing about experience. There's a beautiful thing about veteran smarts, but there's also a beautiful thing about youth and the potential that creates down the road. ”

I don't know that I ever could've imagined just how blessed my life would be. ”
