At the time, we just knew that we had to come together or be destroyed. It just shows what you can do when you work together. Yeah, this was a hard loss. But this was the most fun year of basketball I've ever had.

I could tell they had watched some film on me because I've been able to shoot well the past few games, and they had me covered in the first quarter. But they kind of forgot about me a little bit in the second quarter, and I was able to get some shots to go in.

You tend to be very, very cautious this time. And it was nice to get excited about something different. It wasn't David all over again. This was Rachel.

Now is the best time to look at the situation.

I'm real sorry that Mark has chosen this time to run against me because I think we have a good team on the council. One of us isn't going to be there next January and I think that's too bad. We both can't win, but we've both been very valuable members of the team.

The role of chair is voluntary but the amount of time that's required is about to go up and that makes it quite difficult. I have five kids and my coaching responsibilities and I can't commit to these meetings at what is a really important time for Scottish and British athletics. Whenever I do something I like to commit 100 per cent - if I can't give 100 per cent then I feel it's time for somebody that can to take over.
