That got us started on revenue sharing, and we couldn't have done it without all the teams.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But if you look at teams that want to share more revenues, they're teams that don't have a lot on the table. They've long since not had any serious investment in their team.
We need a system where all of our teams have the opportunity to compete and to make a few dollars. That's not a bad desire for collective bargaining for a sports league, and it's great for our fans.
We spent a lot of money on some players.
Organizations are trying to save extra money. Players are trying to get extra money. That's the way it is.
We did it with passion; we didn't do it like everyone else. Teams nowadays are still trying to duplicate that, but no one has yet. We shuffled down and we did it. We did it in an unique fashion.
It was obviously a pretty hectic development schedule and we put a huge team on to it but it paid off because we continuously get complemented on the finished product.
Our moral sense really evolved to bind groups together into teams that can cooperate in order to compete with other teams.
What you had at the time was a dictatorship with the team owners.
In life it wasn't what you know, but who you know. I had people who were trying to buy teams and had they bought the teams, I would have gotten to coach because they wanted me to coach. But the people who have the teams hire their friends.
We did it together. Not one individual carried this team.
