The junk around the gym is getting bigger and heavier and meaner

Good column in the Seattle Times yesterday about Nuggets coach George Karl, who had a couple of great quotes.

On how coaching has changed in recent years:

"The gym's still good. The junk around the gym is getting bigger and heavier and meaner. It seems like, for the last three, four, five years, you don't know who your enemies are. You don't know who's out there leaking and fibbing and gossiping. There's so much of it now."

On coaches' tendency to over-analyze things:

"I do think there's a certain point where we over-coach, we overkill, we over-inform, we over-think."
