Portland Trail Blazers reporter Brooke Olzendam sat down with new head coach Chauncey Billups for an interview posted to the Blazers’ YouTube channel. The interview covered Billups’ coaching plans, including style of coaching, relationships with key players, and the ever-present question about defense. Billups also talked about how he looks to pull from his playing career as a coach.
The interview did not cover questions remaining unanswered from the Blazers’ press conference earlier in the week, regarding a civil lawsuit Billups settled in 2000 regarding an accusation of sexual assault in 1997, when he was a rookie with the Boston Celtics.
