Yes.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

That is when he put Billy Donovan unequivocally...

Above everybody else.

Above everybody else.

And he said, that is my ride or die, Billy Donovan.

If Billy Donovan wants out, fine, because guess what?

He's my ride or die.

I'll let him do whatever he wants, whether it's stay, whether it's go.

We wish him the best.

You can run this organization.

You can be the top basketball executive in charge if you want to, because you're a Hall of Famer, even though the Hall of Fame laurels

largely, if not completely, earned at the collegiate level.

But look at who we're talking about.

But look at who we're talking about.

And that's part of my problem with this is I understand the respect and I guess awe that Michael Reinsdorf has for Billy Donovan because if you hear just how glowingly he talks about him, I get it.

But the standard has been so low.

that you've been dealing with people who did not know what they were doing for the longest time.

And so, yes, that makes Billy Donovan, who's a good coach, look even better and look like the brightest basketball mind you've ever seen because look at what Michael Reinsdorf has been dealing with for the better part of two decades.

If he holds true to this, he will have an organization that is sputtering out of the blocks.
