He said, I know and I can relate to how low you are.
He just filled me up.
I walked in and they were all they were all in that locker room.
A bunch of gladiators, you know, you know, half naked, you know, some still in their uniforms and just sitting there.
And I'll never forget when I walked in, they straightened up in their chairs.
You know, they just sort of straightened up for a minute for the coach.
And, you know, that made me even feel good or better.
You know, I mean, that made me feel better because,
They knew how hard I took it.
And it was my job to make sure I could give them some solace in this moment because we had been through this like three years now.
But that's where I think a lot of people miss what coaches do and what they have to do prior to games and post-games.
There are those moments that are definitely seminal moments that you'll take with you for the rest of your life.
You'll never forget that time.
But you also...
you know, talk about the adversity of the moment, you know, and I've talked about this all the time, and it's somebody else's writing that in my readings when I was younger as a coach, that in every adversity, we find and we must find the seed of equivalent benefit.
There has to be an equivalent benefit to this failure, to whatever it is, and out of that seed,
You replant it, you replant it, you replant it, and then it might grow 100 feet in a year or whatever it is.
And so, you know, failure is just as much a part of the NBA as winning is.
And probably it's more...
growth oriented than just winning games all the time i mean that's how you grow you you built your business on on failure too and you built your business on greatness and i think everybody who gets to where we have gotten to we all have to appreciate those moments when it was dark and that it was low and that and that you never felt you know good about anything so i have born been born out of that
