The players fire the coach, and as long as I'm on the same wavelength with them, I can coach as long as I want to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All I can say is that I'm going to try to coach the way I've coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.
The competitor in me wants to play, but it's not my job to make that decision. That's what the coaches are paid for.
Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different.
I'm not going to coach again. I've done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside.
I'm a player, the coaches coach.
You can have a coach for five or six years, and eventually, that coach has so little new to say. So get somebody else to give a different point of view. Somebody will see something I don't see and vice versa. You evolve with your game and your coaches.
But the problem with coaching is that it is a full-time job. By that I mean for at least 40 weeks in a year you have to be with the player, either travelling or training. Right now I don't want to do that.
Will I become a coach in the future? No way. I'd never be able to put up with someone like me.
I like playing. I wouldn't be a good coach. I don't have the patience to be a coach.
A lifetime contract for a coach means if you're ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can't fire you.
