What were, uh, what were some of Billy's strengths as a, as a partner?

Uh, strengths as a partner.

I, I think, um, I...

Anytime I talk to-- So after I finished playing, like, I was talking with Andy Benesh, who I think played, uh, with Billy for a while, or not I think, I know, but led, and Paul Lotman too, and, um, I think one of the things that I said anytime I talked to those guys, like, in the midst of it, was just like, "Billy's like jumping into a warm pool on the court." Like, you just get in and you're immediately comfortable.

You kind of have this, I don't know, everything feels, like, fluid and smooth and crisp and, like, but, like, very little pressure.

Sometimes you jump on the court with a partner and it's like, "Oh, I gotta perform," but, like, um, and there's, like, almost this threat state that you enter versus Billy was just like, "Man, this feels good." Like, "This just feels right." Um, and so I think that as you saw throughout Billy's multiple decade career, um, just guys that were readily available to just jump in, and I think Billy provided for me specifically, um, just a steady, stable foundation for us as a team.

So, like, I would kind of ride the highs, and then I would start to dip a little bit when the lows would hit, but Billy would kind of be there to bring us back to baseline.

Great coaching.
