I feel very comfortable saying I more than likely will not come back and coach, ... The health issue is very important.
It was a really nice game. He did a lot of things well for us tonight. He has been saying he has been getting more comfortable playing in the offense. We asked him to do a variety of things, and that sparked his game tonight. His rebounding has been a great asset for us.
He played a great game, and they gave him 'Kobe (stinks)' or something at the end. I thought that was really poor sportsmanship, especially for a game as competitive and exciting as that game was, down to the last minute to be decided. I'm sure his demeanor and his poise and his character on the floor are saying lots.
