Or if you get caught three days out in California and you decide you're going to go to the beach or something like that,

I mean, those are your own days and you can do what you want to do.

But I don't know.

I'd like to think that.

But I could just be naive, too.

You know what I mean?

I'd like to think that the players realize where they're at and count on them.

But I do realize, though, when the games are big, when some things are big, it's the responsibility of the coach to kind of jump in there and say, hey.

We got a big one tomorrow.

This is for first in the conference, or this clinches our playoff spot, or we're in the playoffs, so knock it off.

You know what I mean?

And hopefully they listen.

Yeah, I mean, it was a crazy week for sure.

You know, the best player thing in a GM, I think all that's going to work itself out, and I don't really have the input on that.

The new GM getting named, and so that's a lot of talk and a lot of conversation in a city like Toronto for sure.

I think, I mean, for me, kind of the icing on the cake for the week was getting that number one pick overall, watching the draft lottery.

It was actually really cool to watch it.

I'm down here in Florida, and I'm out of it a little bit.

I'm not in Toronto.

And so to put that on and watch that and how it happened live and for them to get it, that's a huge pull.
