The only thing I've ever been interested in teaching anyone in life is cricket.
I enjoy teaching football.
It's always been a passion of mine to come out and share some of my knowledge about basketball and the experiences I've had with the younger generation.
I think I've tried to have a platform to speak and to help kids understand learning about baseball.
I've started the coaching badges. I did some at Aston Villa, but things got in the way.'
You think when gym teachers were younger, they're thinking, "You know, I want to teach...but I don't want to read. How about kickball for 40 years?"
Rebuilding has always been one of my specialities from the time I started with young players at Cagliari.
I began training the young players at Nova Iguacu and at Boavista, and I enjoyed it. I had always wanted to be a coach, and this accelerated the process.
It's not that easy for some of these players in China to get the coaching they need.
The basketball experience that I have, you can use in different areas, but coaching itself, you have to go out there and learn on the fly.
I've given many lessons in many sports over the years to many different people.
All I ever wanted to do was coach, 'cause I knew I wasn't gonna be a player.
For me, I think you can coach guys in martial artsm, and wrestling can be one aspect of it, but I have no desire to be an NCAA wrestling coach again. It was one of the worst coaching jobs I have ever had.
I believe in order to coach, you've got to start at the ground level. The same way I learned how to play basketball.
I want to keep coaching as long as I can. I love teaching and working with student athletes and I love being at the University of Tennessee.
