I think Gerald Wallace is a very talented basketball player. I think he has unique skills that afford him the ability to really help the team. But I think Gerald Wallace, he decides how effective he is going to be. If he accepts the role, and understands that that role can make the team a whole lot better, he's going to become even better. But it's when he steps out of that box, he decides to do a little too much and it sometimes hurts the team. Last year, we went out to LA, beat the Lakers, he had a great game, he had three games on that roadtrip where he was phenomenal and we won all three. When we had Gerald in that kind of role and Jason doing his thing, we were a pretty good team. We just didn't have the chemistry to do that for a whole year, and part of that was I was learning the guys and they were learning me. But a lot of the reports of the relationships with the players being strained and we couldn't get along, that was just false reporting. I'm a coach that will discipline his guys, because I believe that's part of coaching. But I never lacked any respect for those guys or showed any excessive discipline for them. I just tried to do the best job I could.
Nothing too newsworthy besides maybe the part in bold, if you believe it
