If you are physically fit when you're dong the job, you'll not only be around longer for the guys you're working with but for your family as well.

We needed to do a better job physically in the paint and not just from a couple guys, the whole group. R.J. can sure shoot it, he gave us some big baskets, and Mario worked very hard. We just needed one more guy to step up.

He was used to Marine-like, physically fit guys taking the course and here I came, schlepping in like I hadn't as much as walked across a room in 30 years. He didn't embrace me,

I did have a bit of a ding-dong when we were together.

I think he's better prepared mentally and physically to not let that happen. I think he's got his off-the-field issues pretty well behind him, and his knees, for the most part, feel better. So I think he's better prepared to not let things snowball.

The coalition is divided over everything and must admit it is not longer fit to govern.
