Absolutely true, Tony, and I feel like this is the area in which I've made the greatest strides in my game over the last 3 seasons. But even in giving calm, reasoned explanations, my opinion is that you keep the exchange as brief as possible. Trying to explain too much is no good, b/c the coach doesn't really care that much. Trying to argue a point is no good, b/c it just intensifies a situation. Say what you absolutely need to in order to answer the question and then get outta Dodge. Again, just my opinion.

Also, how you say it is at least as important as how you say it.
