Interesting comments but nothing really detailed & specific. Interesting comments about Saban.

CBSSports.com: All coaches who have taken time away from the game in a television role have raved about how it allowed them to view things from a different lens. What's the biggest thing you gained from your time in the media?

Johnson: The information that you give the kids --- it can't be overload. I think what I gained is how to be a little bit more patient and knowing how to communicate information to kids and how to teach it to kids on this level. A lot of kids that are 19 years old --- their maturity level may be more like 17. A kid's 20, but the maturity level may be more like 18. Just knowing how to be patient, not only to teach and discipline kids, but also knowing how to teach and discipline kids because so many of these kids come from so many different situations.

My new good buddy Nick Saban talks about it's all about the ball, the ball, the ball. You've got to have players that make great decisions with the ball. We're going to play a little faster and I think that adds a little more intrigue to a team. I'll keep trying to do things that will get our fans and our supporters a lot more excited about what we're doing on the floor.
