Growing up, softball was always my second sport. I decided at the last second to play.

I remember watching Ralph play growing up. When you walk into University Hall, there's a huge poster of Ralph posting up Patrick Ewing. If they ever get rid of that poster, I want it.

When I was young growing up, Tennessee is where I wanted to go to school and play, and to have the opportunity now to play against them is great for all of us.

As a youth growing up, everyone's goal is to play on the senior team because that is the highest you can reach.

It was always fun to play against Mike growing up. Now that we are on the same team, it's even better. At first it was weird to play with him after always playing against him, but living together made it a lot easier.

Growing up, my dream was to play Division I basketball. I also knew that one day I would like to be a Division I head coach. The Citadel was the school that allowed me to do that. To be able to play basketball and be a head coach at the same school is a dream come true.
