Chauncey Billups Lists Larry Brown, Flip Saunders Among Coaches who Shaped Him

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups sat for a call with Jim Rome on Friday to discuss a number of topics, from the team’s position, to Damian Lillard’s coachability, to Brittney Griner’s release.

Perhaps the freshest conversation bullet came toward the beginning, though, when Billups was candid about the difficulties of coaching, and remarked on who he, as a coach, looks up to.

Rome: How much more comfortable are you in Year Two, in the seat that you’re in right now, than you were a year ago?

Billups: Yeah, I’m a lot more comfortable now, even knowing that I still got, you know, a lot to work on, a lot to learn.
