Recently fired Head Coach Avery Johnson believes that it's time for him to move on from the experiences he had with the Mavericks, according to the Dallas Morning News.

He admitted that he may have lost control of some of the players on his roster.

"When that happens, then sometimes you need a new voice," Johnson said Thursday. "During the course of some games, I wasn't getting that response. This particular team, especially in the last quarter of the season, last half of the season, just wasn't responding the way I needed it to."

"I'm not necessarily cool about this, but what am I supposed to do? My life has to continue. This is a part of coaching. Coaches, we're going to resign or get fired," Johnson added.

"But now, it's time to move on. There are no hard feelings, there's no bitterness."
