Another change is on the hat and batting helmet -- they are all blue. We eliminated the black out of the batting helmet. There still is a black jersey.

We did look at the powder blue road uniforms, but this time we did not go that far. I receive a lot of e-mails and calls about bringing back the power blues.

We wanted to jazz up the pants more.

The crown logo will go back on the uniform sleeves. The gold in the crown has been magnified. Several teams have the circle logo, but no team in sports has that crown. We've had a couple of different logos and we're trying to go with the distinctive crown.

They change ends well, they do shoot it well, and they put it on the floor and drive. There's a reason they're 11-1. I don't think we're as bad as we showed, but I do think they're very good. I think Coach (Martin) is doing a nice job with them.

We didn't change anything. We started passing really well. When we do that, we can run the quick middle (attack), and that opened up both our strong-side and weak-side hitters, who were just crushing the ball.
