It makes them feel good about who and what they are when you go the extra mile for them,

It makes the world a lot smaller.

Last year, we came into the season with no expectations. This year, the expectations got higher and next year they will get even higher. We're trying to build a program here, not just a team.

These guys love to play the game, ... It's very easy to coach when they love what they are doing.

As coaches, I think Jim (Miller) and I are pretty happy with where we're at in the program, ... We had a team meeting at the beginning of the year and laid out some goals.

It's been great, ... Last year was a blast just as a coach, but to see these guys getting better this year has been thrilling. I've enjoyed watching them get better, and it's nice to see their enthusiasm for the game get more intense.
