I Didn't Miss Any Games, But Coach Knight Came Out And Spent Three Days With My Family In Chicago When My Dad Passed Away. I Came Back And Played And It Was Good Therapy For Me. Having A Basketball Family And A Coach Who Understood And Actually Became Like A Father Figure For That Time Was Comforting To Me, And I'm Sure That Will Be Comforting To Coleman.

That's Why Basketball Was So Good, Because I Didn't Really Need You Or Anyone Else To Play It. It Would Be Better If We Played Four-on-four Or Five-on-five, But I Could Go Out There Alone.

I'm Fortunate Now That I Coach At Duke University And We've Won A Lot. I Have Some Kids Who Haven't Failed That Much. But When They Get To College, They're Going To Fail Some Time. That's A Thing That I Can Help Them The Most With.
