“He is actually someone I talked to a bunch before I took this job. Unfortunately, we’ve both been busy and have not been able to connect. His season started and then my season started. I believe as a coach, as a participant in the course of the season, I had a relentless baseline degree of edge and nervousness and worry and simply aggressive spirit. Like, it was on a regular basis, all day, even on off days, it was simply there. All that stuff is there as a coach, I believe there’s a paranoia as a coach. “I used to be attempting to clarify this to my brother, who’s on the town this week and I used to be attempting to clarify to him after the sport the opposite evening. It’s similar to, the sport ends and if you win and it’s instantly to, ‘Man, we may have executed this higher.’ Or, ‘Man, we’re going to get uncovered on this.’ Whether or not it’s reasonable or not, I don’t know. However, it’s that fixed paranoia that’s at all times there as a coach.” -via Lakers Nation / March 8, 2025
