[QUOTE="kg01, post: 940407, member: 11"] Interviewed on ACC radio. A couple notes ... - Mentioned he didn't skip any steps as a player or coach. - hard-worker - Caught himself saying University, didn't want GT folks to get on him. "This is an Institute!" Asked if the move from college to NBA to college was by design. - Says it was his plan for 3 reasons: 1. to make himself more marketable, to establish a reputation as a guy who builds relationships. 2. To show he knows the game at multiple levels. 3. To learn and show he's willing to learn/adapt. How did you get on Batt's radar? - Gotta ask J. Says the process came out of left field, but he was humbled to get the opportunity. He was impressed by J considering he'd only been here like 6 months. Was very comfortable with his vision, trust they'll do what they can to help him build and win. Why GT? - GT is a great place. Quoted the 1-in-6 millionaire thing. - Went through the history, players. Remembers that, when GT wins, they're the cities' team (bigger than the hawks). Spatola chided him for naming some of the greats before Salley. - Said he was at dinner with donors, Pres., and the mayor (name drop). Realized he hadn't called Salley (called Salley his "brother") yet. Said he has to make that right. Asked about NIL. - Basically said pro sports has entered college. Repeated salary cap comment. Believes students deserve to be "valued". Just adds a dimension to recruiting. Have you spoken to team, what's the message? - Message is we'll be disciplined, detail oriented. "I'm not expecting mediocrity". Simple message. - Repeated comment about signing a contract with yourself. Gonna get better on court, off court, and in classroom. Do you still play? - One word answer. "No." (Lol's all around) - Trained other folks to do the demonstrating but will do some set shooting every once in a while. [/QUOTE]
