PAYNE: “I've taken some heat for this. Last year — you know, and this is just me, so I know I it may not make sense to you. What I inherited was broken. More than I could ever tell. It was broken. It wasn't just basketball. It was broken beyond broken. OK, so when you walk into a situation like that you're not coaching basketball. You're coaching, ‘JJ Traynor, lift your head up, lift your head up, you're good basketball player.’ . . . Are we one or two players away? Probably. But I can’t worry about that. I have to do my job. I have to let the chips fall where they may. I’ve got to push these kids every day. And that’s the reality of it.”
