• People really don't care, in some ways, that you have a family. With a high profile job like I have, they just want you to win basketball games. You can do that and still keep your family together.

In my first year at Dallas my (then 11-year old) son Avery Jr., said, "You know daddy, you're still the best coach in the NBA." I was like, "But I haven't won a playoff game yet." And he said, "That's okay. You're still my daddy." That makes you feel good.

You could be on Suddenly Stewart.

• I understand we have, you know, a very unique situation, a very volatile election, two very high-profile candidates. You want to be very careful about what you do.
