Скачать или смотреть Isiah Thomas - The Courage to Coach Me

Isiah Thomas is an NBA champion, MVP, and Hall of Famer. When asked how he was able to play for coach Bob Knight, here is what Isiah Thomas said:

“Now that I’m older, I’m so happy and glad that Coach Knight had the COURAGE to coach me, and to have a CONFRONTATION with me. He wasn’t trying to be my friend; we didn’t have friend coaches. The coaches now want to be your friend; they don’t want to coach you. To really get the best out of what you have, somebody has to pull it out of you and there has to be a little confrontation. I appreciate Coach Knight because he wasn’t afraid to have a confrontation with me.”
