The only thing I've ever been interested in teaching anyone in life is cricket.
I enjoy teaching football.
It's always been a passion of mine to come out and share some of my knowledge about basketball and the experiences I've had with the younger generation.
I've started the coaching badges. I did some at Aston Villa, but things got in the way.'
I think I've tried to have a platform to speak and to help kids understand learning about baseball.
You think when gym teachers were younger, they're thinking, "You know, I want to teach...but I don't want to read. How about kickball for 40 years?"
Rebuilding has always been one of my specialities from the time I started with young players at Cagliari.
It's not that easy for some of these players in China to get the coaching they need.
I began training the young players at Nova Iguacu and at Boavista, and I enjoyed it. I had always wanted to be a coach, and this accelerated the process.
I've given many lessons in many sports over the years to many different people.
The basketball experience that I have, you can use in different areas, but coaching itself, you have to go out there and learn on the fly.
All I ever wanted to do was coach, 'cause I knew I wasn't gonna be a player.
For me, I think you can coach guys in martial artsm, and wrestling can be one aspect of it, but I have no desire to be an NCAA wrestling coach again. It was one of the worst coaching jobs I have ever had.
I believe in order to coach, you've got to start at the ground level. The same way I learned how to play basketball.
I want to keep coaching as long as I can. I love teaching and working with student athletes and I love being at the University of Tennessee.
