You're coaching a storied franchise, ... I want to see this franchise respected, being a contender every year, having people come to the Garden and saying, 'Man, they played the right way.'

Maybe some of his decisions were a little misguided.

I don't think you can focus on the record. It's a marathon.

I'm happy writing full-time and I've been making a living off it so far. I haven't had any complaints with it at all. I'm happy.

We didn't make any passes except to them.

He's your leader, he's arguably your best player. We got a young team. They look up to somebody like him. If he doesn't show positive vibes it's not going to help them. He always tells me, 'No coach, I'm involved, I'm not getting down.' I said, 'Sometimes you have to show them that.' Again, that's not his nature, but it would be helpful.
