It was extremely difficult, ... Coach felt like he needed to make a change, and he did, and I was the person that got changed. For whatever reason, right or wrong, as a player you're still trying to figure out what you did wrong.

Lowest I've been in a long time,

People don't see what an incredible will he has. There's a lot of leaders that are good who are not able to kind of get the message across, bend people to his will. I think that Baron has an amazing and infectious gift that he can come into a locker room and really make people believe and really make people better. I think people have seen him have fun with the game, but they haven't seen the kind of forceful personality he has.

I think clearly this has been a point of emphasis for us,

If I'm on the weak side and one of my players is on the strong side and he's coming to the basket, I might just pull on the guys shorts --and that's not going to show up in statistics --but the player on my team knows that guy couldn't come over because I pulled him. How do you measure that?

For me to just go back in that environment where it's being encouraged was great, ... Just to keep working on your game, keep stretching your game and keep learning.
