Avery Johnson enters his life as the former coach of the Dallas Mavericks proud of what he's accomplished, secure that he handled himself with integrity and ready to move on to the next professional challenge.

Dressed in a brown pin-striped suit and yellow open-collared shirt, Johnson met with reporters today in the lobby of his uptown condo building. He talked about the peaks and valleys of the three-plus years of his first head-coaching gig after replacing Don Nelson, and the decision made by owner Mark Cuban and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson to take the franchise in another direction.
