The world according to Butch Carter - best toothbrush in the world

Since Buch Carter was kicked out of the Air Canada Center and told he no longer needed him as head coach for the Toronto Raptors, 15 spring has entered the summer.
There is a mean shadow in this matter. Harsh words. Wounds healed. Scars remain.
Although he has disappeared from public view, the polarized basketball players who grew up in the Middletown project in Ohio have never really left, find the end of the Rainbow at a golden sunset that illuminates the coast of Lake Ontario.
A lovely girl from Makham became his wife, who honed his craft as a businessman, public speaker and entrepreneur, using his business degree at Indiana University, established an Oakville company that used to be GM's largest supplier of electronic controllers.
He owns part of the car dealership.
He and Monica and their 11-year-

No one needs a label. day.
Have satisfaction.
Still, in a lengthy interview, what struck the most chord was his passion for basketball and the people who played it.
"I find myself more like a basketball coach than anything else I 've done," he says, as the boat glides below, a sign of surfing by the lake.
"That's why I started the Canadian basketball league.
Carter wants to return to coaching.
Even if he had to start his own league to do that.
If he can achieve his dream, his dream will begin with teams in Scarborough, Waterloo/kidina, Hamilton and Ottawa in December.
"The NBA has never been a real choice.
I think what I need to do is go back to the gym and show the young people what I can do.
To understand Carter's vision, it's better to understand his past.
Understand his motives.
Now 56 years old, he seems to be very comfortable with life.
He was in the NBA.
He said he had been interviewed for several assistant coaching positions.
"I think I did very well in the NBA. (
General Motors of the former Dragon and the Knicks)
Glen WaldCoach Mavericks)
Rick Carlisle said to me, "You have to go back and coach . . . . . . Nice to meet you.
The only problem is that we haven't seen you do what you should do for a long time.
What's the other question?
Carter is not just in love with Monica.
He fell in love with Canada.
He did not want to leave the city.
"This is the family thing.
For a child who grew up in a housing program, it is a peace of mind to know that your family will be fine.
Toronto is a good place.
"I came over from the airport and someone would yell, 'Hey coach, welcome back!
This is the case. I have never left.
"Enter every day of light from the dark side! Shouted Carter. “Every day!
His laughter echoed in the wonder of where life took him.
"When we were 14, we moved to Middletown, Ohio.
The white man lives on one side of the rail;
Black on the other side.
"One of my best friends today is Bruce Helsel, chief operating officer of Wells Fargo.
He came from Connecticut and was a guard around me in high school. White.
"People don't understand our relationship.
But basically we came from other towns and never knew the whole thing about apartheid.
I don't understand.
He couldn't think of it either.
Even so, Carter realized that there was only one escape. “Scholarship —
"There is no other way," he recalls.
"We were scared because we all wanted to go out.
The only way is through sports.
So we have to make a lot of good decisions.
Every day, the walk between the local grocery store and the project is . . . . . . "He paused.
There is sadness in the eyes.
"The reality is that the more successful you are, the more things people give you. Drugs.
"That's how it works nearby.
They're not pushing you. they're trying to pull you back.
"You must constantly show that you are different. It’s very hard.
You have to go out as soon as possible because they will try to hurt you when you show you are different.
"When he doesn't play basketball, he tries to feed his mother, brothers and sisters.
"When I was 14 years old, I had to work, I had to take part in sports and I had to find a way out.
He works in a local steel mill.
He works in the entertainment department of the city.
When he is not busy there, he will get a mower on the grass nearby.
"When I have finished cutting the grass, I will buy some Clorox and my toothbrush and brush my sneakers white so that they will not have grass when I go to the stadium
I didn't have a pair of leather sneakers until college.
His friend went to Yale.
Carter won a scholarship to play for the fickle Bobby Knight.
He will be chosen by the Lakers and it will take half the time.
Played in the NBA for more than ten years.
During this period, he became the first person to graduate from college at home.
"The most difficult thing is that you can't take the person you love away when you succeed.
They can't work properly.
In your new world).
This does not include his family.
They work very well.
Brother Chris went to the Vikings and was in the Hall of Fame.
One brother, John, survived these projects and became a successful businessman in Atlanta.
"On my campus ,(John)
I see that there is another way of doing things in addition to the way it works in the project.
His mother went back and got her up.
Graduated from the school with a master's degree from Ohio State University.
"My own history shows that if you can help a young person clean up their lives on individuals and sports, the impact can be generated throughout the family.
This is by no means just about the guy running around on the floor.
"As the head coach of the Raptors, he trained Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady, both of whom were in the NBA's infancy.
It was a glorious time.
"But I did something stupid," he admitted . "
He knows how to operate drafts and is proficient in analytical and physical mathematics.
His involvement in the plot as a matrix of Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment is not always appreciated for that.
He wanted an experienced bench assistant coach as he told management in June 2000 --
End the comment, "little respect (for)current staff.
It was that comment that changed Carter's future forever.
He brought the Raptors to 45.
Win next season in 1999
2000, no one has done better since the first playoff appearance.
Yes, Lenny Wilken did lead them to the only win in the playoffs in the second year, but many observers believe --now and then —
If Carter stays, the team is likely to face Shaq, Kobe and the Lakers at NBA final.
Many observers see him as the best strategist in the history of raptors, if at all the most controversial.
He has never met Masai Ujiri, the current general manager, and he thinks Dwane Casey has done a good job as head coach.
"I respect the NBA coach very much.
They climb mountains every night.
Carter fell off the mountain.
In May 11, 2000, he handed him a copy of the review submitted to Glenn Wald, then General Motors in Toronto, and Richard Pedi, the former MLSE boss.
This includes his achievements, his "lessons learned" and a copy of the newspaper article, including criticism of himself.
It solved the difficulty between him and guard Doug Christie.
It then shows the "determination" that, if it does not lead to his death, will surely accelerate his death.
Carter was fired in June 14.
What happened has been debated.
A week after he was released, pedidi
The most influential sports CEO in the country.
Accused Carter of a court coup, suggesting he was trying to strip glenwald of his work.
"I believe he's vandalizing glenwald," Pedi, who is now retired, insists, but his second book, 21 leadership lessons, will be published this fall.
"There is always a lot of interference for Buch.
He felt persecuted.
The problem is that he does a good job with young players and if he just insists on X and O as well as the coach, I think he will continue . . . . . . Made millions in the NBA today.
Carter has long denied trying to beat his GM.
At the bottom of the second-
The last page of the comments he submitted
He gave a copy of the Toronto Sun.
It wrote: "request to consider the title of assistant general manager . . . . . . Will bring additional credibility to the player.
Pedie says he doesn't remember receiving Carter's season. review wrapup.
Or cut the newspaper.
But he admits, "he must have a copy if you have one.
But it would be strange if he put all the articles in.
"But Butch Carter never had anything traditional. His non-
The coach problem was doomed to his Raptors career.
Not only is it the relationship of glenwald, "his behavior (
He tried to sue Marcus Camby, and Carter now admitted it was one of the "stupid things)
In the playoffs, "Pedie recalled in an interview at his home near Windsor.
"He's a good coach and seems to be looking for problems that don't exist.
Today, Carter said that the reason he asked to be appointed a GM assistant was because he was worried that he would "lose the locker room ", and hope that getting the GM assistant title will give him more influence over Carter. Who is he arguing with to play time?
"I didn't start Christie in the playoffs, which would cost him.
Antonio Davis is unhappy for many reasons.
So I don't think it will be easy to come back.
After 15 years, it has not become easier.
NBA is as far away as ever.
Carter continues to set the bar for his NBA career.
Pedie denied this, saying: "When the NBA general manager wants to hire a coach, they never call a businessman like me.
I never got a phone call from Butch.
"According to the record, glenwald knew nothing about Carter's court coup.
However, the story continues.
"It's a reality," Carter said, gazing at the water on Toronto Island.
"In American sports, if you are the leader of an organization and you publicly declare that a Brown Man in a subordinate position is trying to accept the work of white people, in fact, that's what Richard Petty did.
Pedie denied this and added that he was angry at Carter's statement of this "race.
"I object to that.
This is offensive.
Everyone knows who I am.
I'm not such a person at all.
Otherwise, even though he thought the former head coach had "rewritten history," he accepted most of Carter's criticism gracefully.
In the end, perhaps Carter has mastered his successes and failures.
"Do I think the league is blocking me out?
No, "said Carter.
"But Richard's statement says, well . . . . . . How do you get such a rebuttal when you go to the interview?
The problem is that the people of Canada believe Richard.
"Still, at the end of the day, you have to decide how you want to live.
When it was over, Monica and I decided not to go out and find a job.
So part of the reason I was blocked out was because I was blocking myself.
"It's also the way Peddie remembers the last few days.
According to Pedie, Carter told him when trying to solve the financial problem, "I won't come back to basketball again.
This is true-until now.
Carter's world moves on its axis again.
According to Coach Carter, Monica has "eliminated the corner of personality" that fluctuates between joy and brutal frankness.
His opinion is very interesting.
They are educated and passionate, and they are weird to some people.
He may be mature, but he can still bring excitement to those in power.
MLSE "they are lazy.
They didn't try to hire Jeff Van Gundy because they had built a system with two listed companies so they didn't really need an alpha male.
They run very well with B.
They don't need alpha.
Every alpha male near that building was hacked.
"They said they wanted a NBAchampionship, but in terms of how they got there, their decision put them on another path.
Second, why can't RAPTORSSo win the playoffs?
"There are flaws in their development.
They chose three people: drozan, Ross and (Jonas)Valanciunas.
In the end, these three will lead you into the playoffs.
These guys are not yet mature enough to do this.
"It's very personal to win the NBA playoffs.
This is one thing I learned when I was in the Lakers.
It's not about Pat Riley's X and O.
Riley's X and O are actually not that good.
It is driven by magic.
He's a champion.
That's what he knows.
He just won't let them lose.
He cited Paul Pierce's promise to beat the Raptors this year as an example of a player turning it into a person.
"Once we get a team that is very concerned about the city, then they will win the playoffs.
There must be an emotional attachment.
Now, no one has feelings.
The team has been here for 20 years, and how many players live here? Zero!
"I think all the players like the city and the city.
But in the end, they need to have a player who likes and loves the city like a man, not like and loves the city like a young man, "he said, it's not all about the club, the girls and the good times of happiness to point out.
"You need someone to change from a young man to a bulldog!
This is the last piece that needs to be connected here.
Exhibit C: Raptors, part of IISo, why do Toronto stars always leave?
"One problem is that there is no celebrity endorsement here.
The company here does not use players . . . . . . So there is no final connection with the city.
Six Chicago corporate sponsors who initially signed up for Michael Jordan, five of whom remain his sponsors.
That's why Michael's salary is lower so they can improve the team.
In order for the team to keep the salary cap, he received twice the salary from the endorsement.
"This has not happened in Toronto. Not even close.
"Before the Toronto company invested a lot of sponsorship money, it was difficult for the Raptors to retain their stars. “(Other clubs)
Always get out of here through your star playersS.
Cities are related to community sponsorship.
The fact is . . . . . . The agent received 20% of the sponsor funds.
The agent will therefore support the move.
They said, "Canada doesn't give us anything. let's go somewhere else.
Exhibit D: Please sit down, sir.
Wiggins probably won't give valhallunas a lot of playing time in the fourth quarter.
Like Kathy did this year.
The result will be a good thing.
Carter said: "80
4% of the time, if you win the first and third sections, you win.
But deeper than that.
If you win the first and third quarter, it means you will never surpass your best players because you are ahead in the fourth quarter.
"Once you use your players in 36 minutes, you have done a huge amount of damage to your team.
You interrupted their career for many years.
What is the biggest argument between me and McGrady and Vince?
"They want more time.
I said, no, you hit 36.
You haven't done it in 36 years. you come and sit with me.
"They don't run two-year-
The reason for the old people in the Kentucky Derby is that they are too fragile.
Wiggins played 82 games, however. Too much.
He's a young pony.
If you want him to show up in eight years, you need to limit his time.
"How important is he to win the Rookie of the year?
Do you know what is the greatest thing that happened to Vince Carter?
He won the Rookie of the year and played only 50 games.
"Exhibit E: there is an eye behind the NCAA CURTAINSCarter --
The opening battle of life is to see the unstable Knight-
One of the most successful universitiesyet tyrannical)coaches.
It was Knight's influence that Carter began to focus on his coaching career.
After retiring from the NBA, Carter worked as the first coach in 1986.
His alma mater in Middletown.
Two years later, he was named Ohio's best coach of the year.
"My first job was supposed to be at P & G, but one of the classes I never slept in was math.
Carter can clearly see from the Knight that the coach has money.
"Coach Knight said he never thought about making that much money. United States)president. But then they (the university)
Let him use their facilities for basketball training camp.
Six weeks, up to 600 children per week, $300 per person.
"It's all a facade.
Yes, he paid less, but they gave him the camp facilities for free, "Carter laughed.
In fact, he thinks most of what the NCAA does is a guessing game.
"They make millions of dollars from their children, but they don't even let you have a job.
Since I was 14 years old, I have become accustomed to working and supporting myself.
But they won't let you work when I go to college . . . . . . I was in trouble because of the phone card (he was given).
He called it for about $30.
"I don't even have enough money to call my home to make sure everything goes well with my mother and brother. (NCAA system)
Very unfair.
"In another era, in another place, it may not be considered slave labor, but it can be close to life.
There are 149 Canadians playing in Europe, China and South America.
There are 104 scholarships in the United States.
Not everyone is Steve Nash or Wiggins.
"The biggest flaw for any NBA team is being able to develop 17-or 18-year-old kid.
Most of them have failed.
There are 351 universities.
They made 75 drafts.
Hope to have children every year
The NBA only needs 25.
"It's an extraction process, not a development process," Carter said . ".
"Right now, there's a big hole, and if they're not good enough to play in the NBA, they have nowhere to go.
"He believes he can give Canadians what others can't give them: a stable place to play --at home.
Speaking about his Canadian basketball league, he said: "We will play in December . ".
"I think we will have four teams starting this fall . . . . . . Waterloo, Hamilton, Scarborough, I'm working in Ottawa.
"He has shaped it after the European League and hopes to eventually have 15 teams in Canada and end up in the top four.
But how does Carter believe that his plan will work with other people, such as the National Basketball League of Canada and several other countries, shaking or failing?
Plan and organize, Carter said.
Some of the National Basketball League franchises in Ottawa and Oshawa are fragile, and a couple in Quebec are either folded or fired from the league.
TV/radio programs are inconsistent.
Carter made a 20-
Annual deal with CHCHTV, a huge game.
Changed the image of his alliance.
In the past unfortunate events, the small basketball team used hockey grounds.
But each game costs $3,500 to $6,000.
It's too much trouble, Carter said.
"How did you get around it because the facilities in OUA are seriously inadequate
Used, good size
"So he's negotiating to use smaller venues in a larger environment for a week-long television game to make it so big. league feel.
"We're lucky to have the Pan American Center built in Scarborough-1,700 seats.
We are negotiating with Mohawk in Hamilton.
They have 800 seats, but we will add another 800, and there may be a very good announcement in the Waterloo area in June.
So in his quest to return to coaching, Carter became a businessman again.
"This is the problem I created for myself," he said with a smile . ".
"There is no need for commissioners for small leagues, they need the COO.
It will be hard and I will have to get through it.
"Once he has the facilities, the owners and the community --
He believes the fans will come here.
"I'm looking for fans to watch OHL. And women.
I'm not chasing any one (well-
Known radio host)
Fans of Bob McCann.
I don't want any of them to show up.
I'm chasing a woman at home and she's deciding what to do with their five kidsand 15-year-old kid.
The league is chasing family fun.
Not to mention chasing the dream of giving Canadian basketball players a place to go home.
He is not heavy. he is my brother. he shared a room with Jabbar.
Led by one of the most famous coaches in college history, he played at Indiana's hotbeds of basketball and spent six seasons in the NBA.
His proudest moment is something that has nothing to do with basketball.
On the day his brother Chris entered Guangzhou.
"This is a very big party.
We rented a house.
We have someone to entertain.
It was on the golf course and we were smoking cigars and playing cards and then you would watch your little brother walk into the Hall of Fame, "I never thought of what he would say to me.
I never thought my brother would say I was his hero because I made sure my family could eat.
"I didn't realize that he saw that I didn't eat on those days, so I could make sure my brothers and sisters could eat.
I'm too busy trying to get everyone away (the projects).
You don't see who's watching what you're doing.
He can say anyone . . . . . . Big men like Jim Brown and Paul Warfield are his heroes.
"Butchcarter cried that day.
Even now, there is a longing look.
"So that means it's worth the trip," he said.
He hopes the Canadian Basketball League will become a reality. To thrive.
Yes, so he can coach again.
But for all the young children like his brother, he still wants to help them.
"I am very happy to meet the young people I have helped. they understand.
It's not just basketball.
Learn to do the right thing in life.
"When Chris walked into the hall, I was there with my children, and Bruce Helsel was there too, and he was playing around me in high school, since we were 15, I knew him with his children . . . . . . It's like we're all in a circle.
"One thing I learned is that no matter what I have done in my life that is not in my best interests, I need to forgive and move on.
"I want to use my talent to train basketball players and good people.
