Jason Terry: For me, coaching was in me early. And then as I got later in my career, I served as the veteran in the locker room. Kevin McHale and J.B. Bickerstaff in Houston [Rockets] allowed me to be a part of the coaches’ meetings. And a year and two years later, Jason Kidd was my coach in Milwaukee [Bucks], he allowed me to start doing some scouting. He allowed me to do player development and allowed me to be a part of the coaches’ meetings as well. The fire was lit. My first year out I was the assistant GM with the [G League’s] Texas Legends, evaluating talent, trying to put a team together and learning the business of basketball. Then when I became an assistant at [University of] Arizona, I worked under Sean Miller, and I learned about recruiting, compliance, some strategy type things. But a lot of that was already in me because I was student of the game.
