I knew it would be tough. I didn't know it would be this tough. I didn't know they would struggle this bad with the players that they have ... I don't know how it's going to work out this year, but they're going to be all right. They've just got to be patient.

I knew it was going to be tough. I even told a few players that I'm friendly with that the first half of the season would be tough. Just getting to know what (Larry) likes, getting used to how he coaches. But I didn't know it was going to be this tough. I didn't know they'd struggle this bad with the players they have. They've got some great talent on that team.

But, you know, they apologized. They didn't mean for it to come out like that. They feel bad about it, and we've moved on.

It's great because we're no longer looking over our shoulders if somebody thinks we're taking a bad shot. There's been a lot more freedom.
