http://tinyurl.com/mhftg2 From staff reports In this excerpt from the arbitration hearing transcript, Don Nelson talks about how miserable he was his final year in Dallas as a consultant to the Mavericks. For that period of the time where I thought we were going to take the high road, during that entire year it was just the opposite that I had hoped for. Instead of the high road, it was the low road, not by me, but by Mr. Cuban. I wasn't allowed to do anything. I wasn't allowed to go anywhere. I wasn't allowed to be anywhere ... I did not feel welcome around the team, and for that whole year if things would have gone the way we said they were going to go, I wanted to be the Red Auerbach of the Dallas Mavericks. I think I mentioned that before. That's – that was my hope. I didn't want to coach again. I was tired of coaching. I'm still tired of coaching, but I'm good at it. I wanted to retire as the Red Auerbach of the Dallas Mavericks. That wasn't possible because I could see that it wasn't going to happen that way. He [Cuban] didn't want me around. He didn't want me on the plane. He didn't even let me stand in the tunnel during games. OK? Now I know there – he says there is reasons. I never, ever said a bad word about Avery Johnson to anybody. I love Avery Johnson. So that can't be the reason I wasn't allowed in the tunnel. I wasn't allowed in the tunnel because I was getting my face on television instead of Mark. That's the reason he didn't want me in the tunnel, or some other reason that I don't know, but it wasn't for any other reason. So I was treated like [expletive], and when I said he was [expletive] on my head, that's the year I am talking about, unrespected, no job, nothing to do, and it ain't going to be like I wanted it to be. I am not going to be Red Auerbach. I am not going to go around and pat asses. I am not going to do what I thought, and I actually thought when we split we would become friends again. That's how naive I was. None of that was going to happen. So now I am in a situation, I'm not talking to Mark, I don't want to talk to Mark. I got to do something else. I can't even live in the city. That's the way I felt. He's run me out of the city I love. 老尼談他在達拉斯的最後一年他說他被Cuban剝奪掉所有權利然後Cuban把他趕出他愛的城市他原本想當小牛隊的紅頭教練在小牛榮退沒想到會這樣那時他不想再執教了現在他不想談論Mark Cuban -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.42.97.21
