coached david except helps hurt hurts rotation san settled three year
I've never coached that way, where we've never had a set rotation, except my first year in San Antonio, we had a lot of injuries. That's really hurt the team. It hurts your progress. All of a sudden, we settled on David at the three and we have the three-guard rotation for the most part. It helps everybody, I think.

It's not something I enjoy, but it's not going to affect whether I can coach or not. It's not going to make me walk away from doing this. But I'm hopeful maybe we can resolve this so I can change my lifestyle a little bit. But there is nothing that I have that can keep me doing from what I want to do.

They come every single day and play with passion. It might not always be right. But when you don't have to coach effort, it's a big step.
coach meant move people rest sorry teammates
I told him I wanted him to listen. I told him I appreciated the way he cheered for his teammates at the end of (Wednesday's) game. It meant a lot. I was sorry that the crowd, some of the people booed him. And I told him I just wanted him to let us coach him the rest of the year. He's not going anywhere, and let's move on.
