He was not.

Neither was I. Are you sure?

I don't know.

I didn't go.

Yeah.

He got this young sort of nondescript team to rally.

The guy who emerged as a superstar really liked him.

He quickly built a culture and built a consensus, and he's good at that part of it.

Last year is the best context we have.

And it was kind of like, remember when Joe Mazzulla took over the Celtics like six months after...

He got the job after Ime Udoka had the scandal and Missoula helped them rise.

You know, it's kind of similar what Splitter did.

A lot of people out there were disappointed in him as like an X's and O's guy or an innovator or a strategic kind of coach.

But I don't know that that's the focus right now.

Like, I'm good with this because you're trying to build something.

And you're trying to have somebody who believes in what you believe in and helps a young group with more interesting young players coming, you know, do the right thing and develop.

He is a player development kind of young coach.

And I'm cool with it.

Oh, here we go.

Here we go.
