I'm Not Trying To Find Answers Anymore.

I Played Hockey In North Dakota Growing Up And Watch A Lot Of That.

I Always Tell The Players, "we Are In The Business That's Very Much Like A Marathon Race Only We're Gonna Be Doing It For 260-something Days Or So." And The Race Is Something You Get Ready To Do. There's Gonna Be Some Trial Inside Of There, But You Put Yourself Through It Because Ultimately It Brings A Lot Of Meaning To Your Life, It Gives A Lot Of Energy To What You're Doing.

People Think I Would Never Take On A Team That Has No Legitimate Chance To Win A Championship, This Is One Of The Major Misconceptions About Me. Success Can Be Measured In Many Different Ways. . . . Either Way, I Would Find The Challenge Invigorating.

I Thrive On Challenges, And There Is No More Imposing Challenge For Someone In My Profession Than Winning An Nba Title.

My Job As A Coach Was To Make Something Meaningful Out Of One Of The Most Mundane Activities On The Planet: Playing Pro Basketball.
