"I shouldn't have gone to New York," said D'Antoni.
"I should have stuck in there and battled. You don't get to coach somebody like him [Nash] too many times. It's pretty sacred and you need to take care of it. I didn't."

"No. It was me," D'Antoni admits now. "I initiated it and I probably shouldn't have."
So its confirmed then that D'antoni is a quitter, and yet this man continues to fail upward.
