Flip is the best coach available out there, a great guy, and I think he's going to make the Pistons better.

Coach Palmer is what you could say was 'my guy,'

I came here in a pair of flip-flops and shorts, and my son's track coach lent me a pair of boots and a boat,

It was very important for me to get a guy to coach a guy like Kevin Glenn, who is not a marquee quarterback yet but has the potential. I took this job thinking Kevin Glenn was going to be good enough to enable us to be a winner here.

Then a guy said, 'Well, you know, 12 victories is probably just what we'd like, Coach,' ... I said, 'Well, you know, frankly, that's only one game left.' We'd like to win and certainly that's what we will pursue.
