The couple would likely visit Christ the Redeemer statue, a symbol of Brazils beauty and their faith, and spend time together just before the hectic start of the school year for their five children.But when Ingrid Williams died on Feb. 11 at age 44, it meant he would experience Rio alone.So a little bittersweet, but at the same time weve had to manage that and move forward, Williams said in an interview with The Associated Press.Ingrid Williams was on her way home after picking up one of their daughters from her basketball game when her car was struck head-on in Oklahoma City by a SUV that crossed the center line after losing control. The other driver, Susannah Donaldson, also died.Williams preached forgiveness and compassion for Donaldson and her family during a powerful eulogy at his wifes funeral. He said that message hasnt changed, even after the police report later showed that Donaldson was driving 92 mph a second before impact, with drugs in her system and a dog on her lap.Well, I knew all that stuff, Williams said. I knew it way before the public knew about it. So doesnt change it, but obviously Im not happy with what happened and how it happened.Ive never had any bitterness toward that lady or that family, I was more disappointed that it was just my wife and that she had to die so early. That was where my disappointment lied. Ive said this before, Im a man who has been forgiven much, and a cornerstone of my faith as a Christian is forgiveness. That doesnt always make it easy, but nonetheless thats what I have to do.His childrens health makes it easier. Three of them were in the car, with one badly injured, but he said you cant even tell that when seeing her now.She had multiple fractures in her face when I first saw her. I thought she was dead when I first saw her in the hospital because I just couldnt see my child living through that, so to see them now I am so blessed to have all five of my kids, Williams said.Obviously Id love to have my wife, but the beauty of all this is I know where my wife is. I know shes in heaven. My kids have seen God bring us through a lot of stuff in the last six months and Im thankful and sad at the same time. Its kind of hard to describe, but Im very thankful that my kids are OK.Williams spent just half a season in Oklahoma City as Billy Donovans assistant coach, not returning to the team following the accident. That was long enough for Williams and his family to make an impact on the team and community, just as he had during his five seasons as coach of the New Orleans Pelicans.Thats my guy, man, said Kevin Durant, who has often worked out with Williams during U.S. practices this summer. I learned so much from him in a short amount of time and probably, easily one of the best people I know.Williams was hired for Mike Krzyzewskis U.S. staff for the 2014 Basketball World Cup. Even after not returning to the NBA, he knew he wouldnt miss the chance to rejoin the Americans for the Olympics.Nobody ever said, `Hey, we need a decision, Williams said. I kind of put pressure on myself to make a decision because Ive been in that position of running an organization, so I know how important it is to have people in place well in advance. So I was more concerned with holding them back.Once I made the decision to not come back to OKC, I think everybody just assumed that I might not do this and they are just two different situations altogether.His children -- Lael, Faith, Janna, Elijah, and Micah -- were with Williams during their exhibition tour, but are back home in Texas now with school starting next week. Williams is eager to get back with them, but first he hopes to make the Olympic trip he planned with his wife.Christ the Redeemer, rising high above the city not far from where the Americans are practicing, was on our bucket list, Williams said. Ingrid, who enjoyed reading the Bible and encouraging others through scripture, wouldve been the perfect companion for the trip, just as she was during their 20 years of marriage.Players have already gone, and Williams might as well.Its the only thing I really want to do. Id rather go do that than go to any of the events, Williams said. We drive by it every time we come to practice, so hopefully Ill get a chance to do it.Being back on the bench has reminded Williams how much he loves coaching, and he knows hell do it again, even if it cant be yet.Ill just take it one day at a time. Im not concerned with where I am in my career, just because the Lords always taken care of all that, Williams said. My kids right now are the priority and I just want to get back home and make sure theyre in a good spot. Obviously working in the NBA is really important to me, but at the same time theres a few other things that need to happen for me to get back to that point.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/BriancmahoneyToy Story Vans Woody .

Secretary of the Lodha Committee, Gopal Sankaranarayanan, warned that if the BCCI or the states were to violate any of the rules laid out in the Lodha report, they would be guilty of contempt of court.If either the BCCI or the state associations choose to take steps now which are inconsistent with the letter and spirit of the committees bylaws which have been approved by the court, then they will be guilty of contempt of court, Sankaranarayanan told ESPNcricinfo.The duty cast upon the Lodha Committee, the BCCI as well as all the state associations has commenced yesterday with the judgement.In a historical verdict on Monday morning, the two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Chief Justice of India TS Thakur and Justice Ibrahim Kallifullah, accepted most of the recommendations made by the Lodha Committee. The court said the recommendations were binding not just on the BCCI, but also on the state associations, and both had up to six months to implement the recommendations.This, it could be interpreted, will render possible forthcoming state association elections in contempt and should they be held at all, their results null and void.Office bearers and officials at both the BCCI and the states have been slow to react, stating they would study the order before deciding the next step. That next step, iit is understood, might not be theirs anymore - the Lodha Committee is likely to go into the minutiae of every state association in order to ensure that every recommendation will be adhered to and due administrative changes are put in place by the time the six-month deadline is completed.ddddddddddddhe committee would not want to be seen as being slow by merely observing what the BCCI and the states are doing in the next six months. The resulting message that could go out to the states is that the only way they could remain Full Members is by adhering to the new rules laid out in the Lodha report and carrying out the constitutional amendments ordered by the court. So if Delhi and District Cricket Association wants to continue to be a Full Member, it will need to get rid of proxy voting, the biggest malaise affecting one of the oldest cricket associations in the country.Similarly, if any state association is holding elections before the court deadline expires, the Lodha Committee has the powers to dictate to the state whether it can actually go to polls, or if the results can be frozen, if the candidate(s) qualify to stand for elections or not.There have been questions on whether the BCCI and the states might need to rewrite their respective constitutions and bylaws. However, it is understood the Supreme Court has already approved both the memorandum of rules as well as the bylaws that were written and submitted to it by the Lodha Committee, which appears to indicate that the BCCI will, as party to the judgement already made, accept a new constitution.
