You hear all the time about European players playing the game. These players that come over at 17, 18 and 19, they just don't all of a sudden become skilled. From the time they were little fellas, they learned the fundamentals of the game. Let them create. ↗

You always draw from your roots. I'm influenced by everything I hear and see, and that includes music today, but obviously I go back to my early influences: Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, Average White Band. Those kind of artists are what I look to. When I hear that stuff on the radio, I turn it up! ↗

Something goes wrong, I yell at them -"Fix it"- whether it's their fault or not. You can only really yell at the players you trust. ↗

I don't have to make examples out of players to establish my own place. I don't feel like I have to. ↗

I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential. ↗

Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different. ↗
