I accepted it, because it was something I was really looking forward to doing.

We're going to be sad about it. But we can't look back yet. We still have the postseason.

That's a big 2-3 zone to be looking at. We'd never done it. Not even in practice. It went as well as we hoped.

We had always talked about being in there at the same time.

The coach came to me offering the position, and I was glad and honored to be asked.

But the research into the risks isn't being done as efficiently or quickly as it should.
