Nate McMillan

Nathaniel McMillan (born August 3, 1964) is an American basketball coach and former player who serves as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. Quotes We've been coaching this year, and these guys come out and give you everything they have, There's not any egos. They work together. They seem to enjoy playing together. Nobody came close to beating us, He treated us like his kids. There was discipline, you showed up on time, you practiced hard, you played the right way. If you didn't, you didn't play. That's how I will continue to do things to this day. It's not going to be based on the star player. We're going to do things the right way, we're going to show up on time, we're going to work hard, we're going to play together. All of that is going to be expected of you. If not, we'll find someone to step in and play for you. My approach is a little different than it was in 2005, Things have changed. The players have changed. How you coach these players has changed. The biggest thing is being able to adapt. There's a lot of old school in me. I won't lose all of that, but I understand you have to adapt to this generation of players as far as how you communicate with them, prepare them.
