I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.

But I was still hoping to be able to coach and teach.

I look at the N.B.A. as a job, a great job to have, so I think, for me, I would have loved the opportunity to go to the N.B.A. out of high school. If you're not ready, you're not ready. If you are ready, I think you should be able to go.

I've also always known that I wouldn't be playing for the N.B.A.

I really enjoyed coaching.

I got to work for some great administrators at great institutions, and I had an opportunity to coach great players. Iowa is no different.

I fell in love with coaching. I loved interacting with young people, having the opportunity to make a tremendous impression on them.

If I were going to stay in coaching, I would have stayed right there because I was totally happy.

I didn't miss training because it had become so painful for me. I filled the void pretty quickly as I went straight into coaching and it was great; I had to start learning all over again, and then when I went into TV I knew nothing about it so I had to start from the very beginning.
