I'm excited because it gives me an opportunity to work with supposedly the best senior talent we have in our league. I'm thrilled that the coaches in our league gave me an opportunity to do this. The way my season ended, this has given me something to look forward to.
They made a good run. We've lost a lot of depth in the last four weeks, so I was proud that we were able to make that run. It's been very hard to end the season the way it did. I know we ended up 14-7, but I have a horrible feeling inside. I'm sick to my stomach.
I need to get more confidence in my bench players. (Michael Alvarez) is a great set-shooter, but he's still got to work on some of his ball-handling skills, and we're trying to get Ed Thomas and Derek Bond in in crucial spots.
I would imagine that, No. 1, it will be a pretty nice crowd. That's something the guys are starting to get used to, but I would have to think that the key for us will be the first four to six minutes and how we'll respond to that.
We're not going to let the ship sink. It makes me sick to think that losing one kid can do this to us. We're going to keep working and maybe all of this will help us down the road.
