He flew coach ? that was the only problem.

It's great. But it's all about those teams that won it, ... I've got a mentor in [assistant coach] Tex Winter. He says, 'You're only a success at the time you perform a successful task. After that, you can't get a cup of coffee on it.'

To build something takes a long time.... with thought of the foundation, how it affects others, history, and culture...........you just don't put up something without thinking about the consequences.

I've never felt like it was a hindrance as a coach, I've never felt like it was a problem with a player. Never felt like it made any difference in a meeting. I've never felt like I lost a team in a meeting talking to them.

The problem here is easy access to a firearm. Here is someone who never should have had a gun that had a gun.

I think it was a disservice to Larry to make him take Allen Iverson. [Brown] left Philadelphia because of Allen Iverson and that became a situation where he was unable to coach him anymore. [Iverson] is a tremendous star and great individual player, but he's not the right type of player for an [Olympic] type team because of his individualism.
