I always want to be honest and not say anything that is not true. So I'd rather not say anything. But you know, the coach did a really good job. I think he did. And I liked working with him. There are just factors that make life very complicated and very challenging.
When later asked by T.J. Simers of The Los Angeles Times if he'd be "off base" in saying that the players call the shots, Sterling responded that, "This is a players' league, and, unfortunately, if you want to win, you have to make the players happy."
