He's a very bright guy. Coming from Europe and experiencing so many different things, he's really open-minded.
When we were getting pretty close to signing him, he called us from one of his maneuvers. I asked him, 'Where are you guys?' He said, 'Up north.' I said, 'Where up north?' He said, 'The Arctic Circle.' That was different. He e-mailed us a picture from there. He had his parka off.
We didn't put the ball away. We committed too many hitting errors. The passing wasn't very good. It was a whole team thing.
Brazil's (lineup) is like the Yankees' Murderers' Row.
I have no complaints about the selections, there's nothing surprising.
We deserve to go, but so does Irvine. One of us has to stay home. That's the way sports is. You have to play your best when it counts.
We've never seen (Fisher) before. He attacked well.
He can really hit it. We knew that.
He really did a good job. He's a good player.
But we had Sean Carney and Brian Beckwith. We couldn't afford another setter. He made a good choice going to Santa Barbara. He's a nice player.
