I've just grabbed kids and started talking to them and telling them that, even though things have been down, we've got a new field coming, we've got lights and things are going to turn around.

We always try to make February tougher than the month of January. We have a couple of kids who are undefeated, and my job is to make sure they're not undefeated by the time they go into the State tournament. They have to be challenged. They have to know what it's like to be down 3-2 and have to come back late.

I'm not going anywhere, if my family is any indication of that. We're all here.

It's a great opportunity. It's really exciting but at the same time, it's a little overwhelming. But I've coached under some good guys and played under some good coaches so hopefully this will be my opportunity to give back to the kids.

It's pointless talking about playing Roger now. I have to get there first.

It was really shocking. I just talked to him last month, and he was talking about next year. We wanted to do a little better [last season], but we accomplished a lot.
