"I'll answer that question for everyone at a more appropriate time."
Su Xi didn't give Cheryl Miller a direct answer. As far as he was concerned, this wasn't something to be announced in such a public setting. And right now, it was the Pacers' championship celebration.
Even if they were to part on good terms, Su Xi wouldn't let Larry Bird and the management be the last to know his decision, much less discuss it openly on television.
"Let's just enjoy tonight."
Su Xi said with a smile, then turned aside and called Carlisle over for the interview. He then plunged back in with his teammates, noisily popping champagne and celebrating wildly.
It was a wild night, and an even bigger party was being held in the locker room.
The players were all going crazy. Even though this was their second championship, everyone in professional sports knows that defending a title is the hardest part.
