My position at the Big Ten Network included commenting and analyzing Big Ten men's basketball players NBA potential. I did a bi-weekly show on Sundays with host Dave Revsine to discuss the top players in the Big Ten conference and their ability to play at the next level..

My duties included overseeing day-to-day operations and reporting to VP of basketball operations Kevin McHale. When Kevin McHale went to the bench as Head Coach, I was in charge of all aspects relating to the team including contract negotiations, free agent targeting and heading up all trade conversations with other league personnel. The Timberwolves went from a team with limited draft picks and no salary cap flexibility to a team that had 7 first round picks over a two year span and close to 17 million dollars in salary cap space based on 10 trades made over a two and a half year period positioning themselves for an expedited franchise rebuild.

Advance scouting and free agent consulting. I created game plans and articulated strategy based on upcoming opponents' strengths and weaknesses to devise a plan that would attempt to maximize the Knicks ability to win on any given night. I also provided input on the list of free agents in the league during the 03-04 season for the purpose of making recommendations about future player acquisitions.The Knicks qualified for the playoffs during my one-season tenure with the team.

My duties included designing and implementing the Pacers offensive system with Head Coach Isiah Thomas. I also played an active role in player development. Jermaine O'Neal won most improved player honors in 2000-01 and Al Harrington finished among the most improved players in 2002-03. I also had significant input into the defensive system installed by the Pacers and was responsible for day-to day practice planning and game planning. I devised several in game charts to track the offensive and defensive efficiency of the Pacers game-to-game performance.The Pacers made the playoffs all 3 seasons during my coaching tenure with one of the 3 youngest rosters in the NBA. During the 2002-03 season the Pacers had the best record in the NBA at the all-star break earning us the opportunity to coach the 2003 all-star game, which was Michael Jordan's last.

Duties including scouting at all levels, input into free agent and trade acquisitions and player contract negotiation and analysis . The Bulls won 6 NBA championships during my 12 year tenure with the team. The Bulls compiled an NBA best 72-10 record during the 95-96 season and followed that up with a 69-13 record in 96-97. Both seasons ending in NBA championships. I played a key role in the acquisition of Dennis Rodman in 95-96 in spite of intense push back from the media and others within the Organization. This trade was instrumental in kick starting the Chicago Bulls second three-peat (96-98). Was instrumental in drafting future all-stars Elton Brand and NBA all-defensive stalwart and NBA champion Ron Artest in the 1999 NBA draft. I had significant input in the acquisition of every Bulls player during my 13 year tenure with the Franchise.
