I talk to the players, either individually or as a group, what I'm feeling, and I think the players appreciate that. And I think they respond to that.

We probably spend more time talking about individual players in our coaching sessions than anything else.

There's not a lot of time to have conversations on the field during the game. That's where the trust and the practice comes into play, through practice, through off-site throwing sessions; that's where you build that trust and build that cohesion with a wide receiver.

It's amazing the things you hear from your players talking to them one on one. I never embarrassed a player, I spoke with him alone.

I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.

I actually like talking.

There's a lot of chatter in basketball and, rightfully, you want players to be talking to each other... But sometimes in practice, it gets too verbose... so I tried to take things out of the ordinary and make them special so they'd understand the difference.

I talk to myself all the time. Just make sure you answer.
