Talk about full circle, I never saw this coming. It wasn't like I said, 'Someday, I want to be the head coach at the University of Memphis.'

I think it's a huge compliment from the younger guys understanding what I did for the game and wanting to represent me by wearing my shoes.

Playing the game at a high level, understanding what it's like to get to where I've already been and where they want to go. I tell those kids that we're going to develop you, we're going to teach you, and we're going to have you ready off the court and on the court to be an NBA player.

There's going to be situations that you get into that you're going to need help, for sure. But for the most part, I think coaching is just understanding who you have and your team, understanding yourself, and understanding the situation.

I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.

The biggest mistakes, early on, involved foreign policy and involved the strategy for health care.

Mental health is seen as a massive drag to have to write about - worthy, dull. Something you should 'have' to read / write about.

Writing is like any other sort of sport. In order for you to get better at it, you have to exercise the muscle.
