They call me.

And they say, Joe, we want you to be on the competition committee.

It's about rules, about what is this transition, take foul.

So the committee is, every season, they make these tweak changes.

They make changes to the reffing to make the product better.

I mean, when I got the call, I'm like, you want me to sit on the committee with Jason Kidd?

Chris Paul and Coach K, like, what do I know about basketball?

That can, you know, really be smarter than that.

But what I've seen is, I've said to Adam Silver, the competition committee should be called the product committee because that is the product the fans see on the floor.

If you change, let's say if you change the three-point line, that is a product decision.

It's not a competition decision.

Should they?

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I think it's a great product because there are 18 different ways you can throw up 43s in a game.

I was just mesmerized by Jack's personality.

People see the public side of Jack, which is very charismatic.

But what I saw was he was able to instill faith in people.

I mean, when I walked into his apartment, there were like 12 to 15 sort of very young people

roughly students that were just coming out of college, and Jack was kind of the teacher that's 10 years older.
