On players coming back and working out in Sacramento during the offseason.

Well, all we’re doing is laying out the foundation. And that’s what I’ve
been trying to do from the day I took over. Start laying out a foundation so
that guys will know at this point and time coaches are here, we will go out
to see you.

Francisco got started with his training right after the season. Cousins had
his date when he was going to come in, so he’s here. Isaiah came in for a
brief moment and will come back again. Tyreke is going to come in. Outlaw was
here for a little bit then he went home for a break.

We don’t want them to disrupt their entire summer and say be in the gym, be
in Sacramento for the whole summer. We still want them to live and have fun
and get away in the offseason. So come in for a week, coaches will be here
with you, not only on the floor, but still looking at film as well.

Looking at some of the playoff games – we’re recording all the playoff
games so that we have little things in the playoff games that we have ready
to show our various players. So different guys are going to come in at
different times and be able to be here with us working in the summertime to
keep getting them better.

On differences between his experiences going into the offseason as head coach
at Golden State versus in Sacramento.

Well, I get a chance to be involved and hands on a lot of things. You know,
getting ready for the draft, you get a chance to look at film. You get a
chance to look at players, the workouts, you’re looking at how a player fits
your team. With your own players, you get a chance (to do) things that you
set up for them, things that they may have struggled with over the course of
the season. Things that you laid out for them to work on this summer. You can
have a hands on approach to that.

In Golden State, our players were kind of scattered and plus we were always
up in the air as to what was going to happen the next year. Where as now, I’
m here (to) lay down a foundation for our coaching staff, lay out a
foundation for our players, so I can be a part of everything that we’re
doing with our basketball program. That’s what I wanted to get. I wanted to
get to where its a program, so that any time next year, next summer, you guys
want to come in and we’ll have someone here. Guys will be here coming in to
work out on their games.

Unless we’re in the Western Conference Finals.
