There was a twinkle in Monty Williams' eyes as he recalled all the times Doc Rivers yelled at him when they were together with the Orlando Magic. When Williams was introduced as the ninth head coach of the New Orleans Hornets on Tuesday, he admitted the current Boston Celtics coach was right about one thing. "Doc Rivers kind of told me I'd be a head coach one day. I just kind of looked at him like he was nuts," Williams recalled. "It wasn't a part of my thinking at the time." Williams, a former first-round draft choice out of Notre Dame by the New York Knicks, played nine NBA seasons. He traces his road to coaching to a point during his three seasons with Orlando when he walked toward the bench during a game that wasn't going well and told Rivers the Magic needed a timeout. "He just goes off on me: 'Just play and get out of here!'" Williams recalled Rivers saying. "I start walking toward half court, saying what I had to say, and then he called timeout. After that, we had some talks ... and he just brought it up that I might be a coach someday. "I was like, there's no way I'd want to deal with [a player like] me if I became a coach," Williams said. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5265556
