I got caught blind-sided myself.

It was Tom's decision. With the demands on his time he is going through he thought it was best for the team, and he stepped down. We respect that decision and we have to move on.

If [the players] did have any problems with him, they turned it into a positive and were playing well.

You need to manage carefully what you measure while carefully understanding that you can’t measure what you do not manage.

You can never aim too high. You can never fight too hard.

Ignore anything that distracts you from achieving your ambitious plans for doing something amazing.
