David BlattGUEST
... my different phases in my career from being a professional player to being a professional coach.

David BlattGUEST
I have MS and no longer am able to, to work in my profession, which I did for 30 years, and suddenly, boom, just like my professional career as a player ended, so did my professional career as a coach.

David BlattGUEST
You know, I had to stop, and it wasn't planned, and I certainly didn't want to.

David BlattGUEST
But I transitioned into something else where I could still feel that I had what to contribute.

David BlattGUEST
I could still feel fulfilled by adding something to other people's lives or by helping to cure problems that perhaps they were confronted with.

David BlattGUEST
Very clearly, you know, when you take into consideration the fact that you're missing two significant offensive players, Guys that can shoot the ball, guys that can create a shot, because when the playoffs come, you know, and you have the ability, particularly over a seven game course of seven game series, it's very, very difficult.

David BlattGUEST
to create offense through elaborate schemes because you're being scouted and you're being challenged by your opponents who know what you're doing, who adjust themselves to different areas where they're going to attack you offensively and defensively.

David BlattGUEST
And, you know, you make adjustments, but at the end of the day, you've got to get somebody that can get you a basket here or there or that can shoot the ball consistently or that has perhaps a more established inside gate or is a high-level rebounder or rim protector.

David BlattGUEST
You know, these things, you know, they become very evident over the course of a series, less so than during the season.
