Monty Williams said he is 100 percent confident in returning as the New Orleans Pelicans' head coach.

“I’m confident that I am going to be the coach of this team because Mickey and I talk all the time,” Williams said. “And that has never come up. So I don’t think of anything else. I think of coaching the team…

“To me, to have this job is a blessing and privilege. I don’t want to go anywhere. I like what we have here. I like the building it the right way.”

Williams will be in the final year of his contract next season and there have not been contract extension talks, according to sources.
