You're not talking to, you know, role players who you're trying to inspire to do more like you might be doing with the Golden State Valkyries.

You are talking to champions.

You are talking to future Hall of Famers, veteran, elite players.

You are trying to, one, win their confidence.

Uh-huh.

Two, win their trust.

Three, they've played last season with a lot of lack of urgency.

You've got to make sure you have a way of making sure they're ready to play at the time of the game start from the first quarter on.

I think this coach has to have a way of...

They're commanding their energy and interest.

And it doesn't mean they have to be loud or boisterous.

They can be super, you know, just to bring up Chrissy Tolliver, she's more, you know, chill as a person, but you can still be very intense and motivating with that.

So whatever your linguistic style is, you've just got to have the ear of the locker room.

I don't mind if you don't got championship experience.

You know where you're going to get your championship experience?

On a team like New York?

In the 2026 season when you run it back and win one with the New York Liberty.

We are not only out of money, we are out of time.

Oh, man.

We are out of time.
