A lot of the kids gave a lot of positive feedback about if I ever became a coach, they would love to play in our program. And I was very confident that we would be able to get the top-tier players to come in.
It's amazing to see these young guys come into the league and want to wear my shoes.
That's my job as a veteran in the league - to help make the young guys better.
I want to see the Memphis flags waving on the cars. I want to see the T-shirts going again, the hats going again like the old school days, and that's what we want to take it back to.
I didn't do it the traditional way of being an assistant first and then becoming a head coach.
If I had stayed there, swallowed my pride, been able to save Orlando all over again, which is what they were trying to get me to do there, I'd be O.K. now.
