“One of the joys of my life is that I was there for the births of all my kids. Tex Winter, my assistant, missed all three of his children. I realized early on that I wanted a place for the summertime for my family to be, so we have this place on a lake in Montana. Actually, I got to spend probably 20 times more with my kids than most basketball coaches, or most businesspeople. Yeah, I’d miss nights, sometimes I’d miss birthdays – but who gets three summer months with his kids?”

“I’d go down to the tropics, to the Caribbean, either Jamaica or Parrot Cay. That’s where I can loosen up and hang out, and I know people who don’t give a shit who I am. Parrot Cay is a more controlled environment, and I basically go there because I’ve got grandkids, and I’ve got this little beach that’s so shallow only an idiot could drown there. That’s the reason I’ve been hanging there. But for me, Jamaica has been, and probably always will be my favorite hang.”
