This is a tremendous opportunity to be named head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, and it's a role I have been studying for over the course of my playing days.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At some point in time I will be honored if I would be mentioned as a coach.
This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen.
I've really gained an appreciation for what coaches do since I returned to the NFL.
I would love to get back to the big leagues as a coach, possibly a manager. I would love that opportunity.
I'm just like any person who is coaching in this league, I'm just looking for an opportunity, that's all.
I don't think there is a person who loves the Nets as much as I do - from our fans, all the employees in the arenas, the front office personnel and the owners. I will always be loyal to our fans and the Nets.
I feel like I've been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.
I think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.
I have been coaching recently. I coached high school basketball in Arizona, and I hope that more opportunities become available.
That's a dream of mine, to be able to coach at the NBA level.
