As a coach, I've got to get better. I've got to improve.

Guarding and defending is not easy.

If you're conscientious of where your team is, and the opportunities and what's available to them, I think you'd be naive - I don't think anyone would believe you - if you said that you weren't aware of it.

There's no doubt that having some guys on the bench that have been through things, and that are older and experienced, understand not just the highs but the lows of losing a game. Winning and keeping a steadiness throughout a game, their voice in timeouts, it's really valuable.

When you watch great teams around the league, whenever they lose, you don't want to be the team that comes and plays them next.

We should be shooting 3s whether we're 1-for-14 or 10-for-14.

It's just hard in our league to see somebody who has had that much sucess, that's done that well, that's that well-respected, not just among coaches but the whole basketball world has great respect for David Blatt. That's hard anytime you see a coach go when they make a change.

It's a tough job to be the owner in a rebuild, to be the GM, to be the coach. These are tough jobs.

Not winning and those types of things are difficult. There is no doubt. You can't say they are not.

That's the great thing for coaches... we'll find more things where we can get better.

I'm going to get better as a coach. Or at least I certainly hope to and plan to and need to work to, and have that as my mindset.

Lots of coaches like to draw up a play in a timeout and most, if not all of them, are drawn up against man-to-man type coverages and defenses.

John Collins has been a great offensive rebounder since jump street.

If we're competing and we're doing the daily fundamental things that we talk about every day, then everything will sort itself out.

I think people know how we feel about the international game and the European game and how we can learn from each other.

The really great players, I think embrace playing unselfishly and embrace playing in a system that ultimately kind of lifts up their teammates or their role players and guys who are around them.

It is always the great challenge when you have a good team and you have good players and you find a way to keep those players with you, then how do you add around the edges?

Getting swept is hard.

We have so much respect for European basketball.

You never want to put yourself in a position where you can bring negativity to yourself or the organization and your teammates.

Being the youngest, my siblings took great care of me and pushed me in all the right directions.

My mom, raising seven children, was such a steady and firm influence. You did not mess around with my mom. Nobody in the neighborhood or whole town did. She had that steadiness and firmness but love at the same time.

There are so many pick and rolls in an NBA game. It's so hard to guard.

I love coaching.
