You miss the camaraderie of being around your team and your staff. It's good to be back in the middle of it all.

I went on vacation with my nephews to St. Thomas and we had a ball.

All my coaches growing up, they were teachers, coaches, and I always had an appreciation for the most demanding teachers because I thought they got the most out of you.

I try to work out. As an assistant, it was a lot easier to work out. Then as a head coach, not as much as I should have.

You can have a great season, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're great. To be great you have to do it year after year after year.

Passing and defense are two things that help build your team, brings the best out of people.

You want to practice smart and you want to build a system in which you can bring the best out of each player and also bring the best out of the team.

The start of the season is always an exciting time. You're getting everything off the ground, establishing a style of play, a system.

I think when you look around it's: How can you build a team in which you have more than one star? That part is important.

I think in Boston we had three great players in Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.
