"I'd coached guys for a long time and maybe some players got more court-time than they should've had last season, because of that relationship I had with them."
He added: "It's time for new ideas. I was getting stale myself and we were just going through the motions.
"It wasn't difficult to let go; it feels good to hand over the reins.
"Guys needed new motivation and you can see that. Players are more vibrant now and are looking sharper. It's good."
