A Quote by Monty Williams
Sometimes in a huddle I don't say anything, the guys will run the huddle. But I try to be an encourager in huddles, especially when I see a guy down or the team is not at the level where they should be mentally.

I feel like, if the guys can look at me in the huddle and see a calm and collected face, that they're going to relax a little bit.
