"I always want to be one of those coaches who knows a player's perspective, one of those coaches that communicates well and knows where I'm coming from. They may not like what I have to say, but at least they know where I'm coming from. So if I wasn't clear in the beginning as to why he was coming off the bench – and that was my fault – but now who knows?"
