One day I got a phone call from Hall of Fame coach Bill Fitch telling me that I was going to be waived. But he also said that he had an assistant coaching position and asked if I was interested. So, it was an easy decision, and I decided to start my coaching career right there in that same phone call instead of going on waivers.

There's a feeling that our players are misinterpreted and a little misunderstood because of various factors. Dress would be one of them. As a league, we know we have good people. We have great guys on our team. . . . I feel like what our team did last year (after the brawl) is a much better indicator of the character and quality of people in our league than anything else people might want to surmise in terms of perception.

A.J. is playing with great awareness and great savvy. He looks like a guy that understands the pulse of the team he's running. The majority of the game, he's making our calls and directing us into things. He's a guy that really knows this team, as well as any player that I've had the opportunity to work with as a coach.
Rick Carlisle
At the start of the game he struggled. Of all the games that he's played in it was the worst start to a game that he's had. He got three quick fouls.
