Pelicans Film Room: "It's in the small things you do every day, that's greatness, that's a winning culture. It's when you find a way to do the small things better than anyone else... When you dominate the simple, that changes how you do everything" -- Jamahl Mosley's goals for this season

Mosley is bringing over four assistants he worked with in Orlando. Bret Brielmaier will be his offensive coordinator, Dale Osbourne his defensive coordinator. Randy Gregory will serve as head of player development, while God Shammgod will play a hybrid role as a player development coach and a voice Mosley trusts on in-game adjustments.

"I think just opening the floor up a lot more for him to attack the basket, giving space, being able to live at the free throw line consistently," Mosley said of how he wants to capitalize on Williamson's skill set. "Some of the things he's done here have been obviously spectacular -- and so just making sure that we continue that along with us being healthy."

Pelicans Film Room: "When they lost only then did I reach out to him, the next day... I texted him "Should we have a conversation?" and he said "Yeah, give me a day or two though. I am just trying to breath right now" That was the first time I reached out to him" -- Joe Dumars on Jamahl Mosley

What was your message to him when he was fired by the Magic? JB Bickerstaff: We talk about everything all the time. I told him that his next job was going to be his best job. When you get a job as a first-time coach, you’re kind of at the organization’s whim because they have to choose you. When you go into your next job after having the success that he had, you get an opportunity to choose. You get an opportunity to ask questions that first-time head coaches don’t get to ask. It’s important that you know the people that you’re working with.

What makes Mosley a good coach? JB Bickerstaff: The way that he cares about the people he works with. His willingness to sacrifice of himself for the greater good and for the players he’s coaching and the organization as a whole. I think that’s where it starts. But then you look at his teams and his teams are always well coached. Defensively, they are always really good, really sound. Offensively, they had a plan. You had to game-plan to beat his teams. His teams didn’t beat themselves.
