Sam Mitchell is frequently asked about the fact that he does not have a contract for the 2007-2008 season, but doesn't think that it impedes his work for this season.

"I'm telling you how I handle things," Mitchell added. "If other coaches feel like they have to have a 20-year contract in order to do their job, that's their business and that's how they feel. As far as I'm concerned, I have a contract."
