Predictability can eventually be defended.

Chemistry kind of builds all season. It's not like we say, 'OK, it's game one, and now we've got our chemistry.' I think it shifts and moves all season long.

People asked me, 'Why aren't you doing something more important?' When I was doing well in the D-League, they were like, 'Why can't you get an NBA job? Or a college job?' I don't think people thought much of what I was doing. That's fine. I was learning. Not just X's and O's, but team dynamics.

I'm a guy that, when there's something rolling out there, the predetermined rotations might go right in the garbage can.

I think I jumped the gun a bit on head coaching. I got named a head coach at 23, and I really didn't know what I was doing. I remember getting that job and going, 'Oh my God, they gave me the job.'

I just think there are so many more good, talented players.

An entrepreneur will do whatever they have to do to make sure things get done. Our coaches will be that way; our players will be that way. Just do what it takes.

We've got to be innovative. We've got to think about what's coming next.

Long time ago, we used to sit around eating popcorn and drawing up plays.

I was getting a degree in accounting, and I was going to go off and account. And as it worked out, I haven't accounted for anything since.

I think the game in general is changing so fast right before our eyes.

I just want to keep getting better. People used to ask me - when I was winning in the D-League - why I wasn't in the NBA, and I'd tell them, 'I just want to learn and get better.' I figured it'd happen one day, and if it didn't, I really enjoyed my time coaching anyways.

I like to have an attacking style on both ends.

It shouldn't be two separate styles between the first and second unit as much.

I always say we're chasing perfection in an imperfect game.

Iowa is always home for me.

I've coached a lot of teams and moved up gradually and tried to succeed and tried to have success at every level. When that happens, you just continue to wonder if you can keep doing it one more level.

Sometimes, I don't enjoy the wins, and I don't enjoy the losses, but I'm here just to get the result and get moving.

Football is a pretty complex numbering system most of the time: run the three back through the four hole, things like that. We kind of do the same thing - the three man sets for the four, or whatever.

Most of the places I came from, you gotta do a lot of gunslinging or coaching by the seat of your pants.

That's playoff basketball. Can you not get too happy after a win? Can you understand how determined the team is going to be after a loss and bring the energy you need to bring?

I call Kawhi the best team player in the league. He really does everything: he defends. He scores. He has been grabbing huge rebounds. He is a leader. His competitive spirit to win rubs off on everybody.

One of my favorite things about the D-League was going on the road and losing and not having to talk to anyone after the game.

Why are people afraid to try something different? Because of the scrutiny they're going to receive if it doesn't work. That stops people from trying things different a lot.
