SOUNDBITE (English): George Karl, Sacramento Kings Head Coach

"You know, I think my, it's been, I've been out of basketball for a year and a half and I'm just really, I think the older I get the more humble I get, knowing that there's only thirty of these jobs in the league and to have one of those opportunities. And the situation is I've missed the gym, I love the game and I want one more shot at trying to win a championship. And Vivek (Sacramento Kings Owner Vivek Ranadive) has been a very passionate owner when I've been around him. I have all the confidence in the world in Pete (Sacramento Kings General Manager Pete D'Alessandro) and Mike Bratz (Sacramento Kings Assistant General Manager) and Chris (Sacramento Kings Team Adviser Chris Mullin). From the basketball standpoint I think we got almost all the bases covered that we just got to go to work."

SOUNDBITE (English): George Karl, Sacramento Kings Head Coach

"I think there's enough talent on this team to win games. There's enough talent on this team to come back and connect with another in a way that you can be a solid to good basketball team night in and night out for the remainder of the season. It's going to take some time. There's probably going to be some ugly games. The philosophies of changing and habits and the culture, they're going to have to understand there are things that I'm probably going to be pretty stubborn on. And there has also got to be some philosophies that I got to be open to change, because I got to adapt to their talents and their skills and their abilities also."
