Nate Robinson Coach Quotations

We waited our turn and showed Coach and the world what we can do. We can go out and play hard and have fun.

Every time Coach talks to me he says listen to the message, not how it's said. It's kinda hard to really listen to exactly what he says instead of taking it personally, trying to do everything right for him and it's not good enough. At the same time you can't look at it that way. You've got to look at it like he's trying to help you.

Iverson was telling me to listen to him because he's going to make you better. I just try to picture Allen saying it instead of Coach because then I can relate to it because I know he's been in my same shoes.

Coach just said, 'Get a hand up,' and I was right there. I just stayed in front and backed him up, and he took a desperation three. But he made a good shot.

That's the hardest thing because the fans love it. They love to see the way I get fired up. ... I think that Coach kind of gets tied in, or caught between me trying to showboat or trying to have all the attention on me I guess.

I'm pretty far along, but I still got a long way to go. Coach says I have to take it in steps and it's something I'm learning to do every day, just come in and pay attention more and more to details, the little things I can do to make myself better.

Honestly, Coach is great. He's like a father figure to me because he's so hard on me. Growing up, my dad was always on me. 'You've got to do this, you've got to do that.' But at the end of the day, I love my dad. I love him to death. I'd do anything for my dad. That's how it is with Coach.
