| Q: Can you say anything — and I recognize it’s been a complex relationship over the years — about the falling out you two had at the end of his playing career? A: Well, I was very, very close to Isiah, and there were times he was almost like a son. But, because of his background, um … I told him he had to change — you know, coming from where he came from. I said, “You’ve got it made now. Don’t keep doing those things that you’ve been doing.” I won’t tell you what they are. But he couldn’t change. |

| Q: What do you look for during a game? A: Well, I look for certain things, which are mainly fouls … and, unfortunately, the referees are not what they should be — although they’re getting better. So I watch the referees. I watch who they are. There are certain referees — when they come to our game — you know you’re gonna lose. And that should never be. Q: What do you think of the whole Tim Donaghy scandal? A: That’s the tip of the iceberg with referees. |
