Getting quick time on the second night is everything. The only thing worth getting on the second night is first or second.

The competition is the strongest it's ever been. Any more, if you have a bad night, you're going to finish 15th or 16th. Every night, there are at least 10 guys on kill.

That alone has been worth every penny of the coaching cost. My time-management skills are much more improved. When you start coaching you have a 90-day lag period between when you start working on your plan and when you see actual results.

Shaffer had us guessing all night. They just pretty much beat us up big time. I was very upset with my team. We didn't play like we were capable of; we played scared.

The crowd got its money's worth on a Saturday night. It's not a masterpiece. Coaches know there aren't going to be any perfect games. I just wanted to win this one and get out of here.
