both came cleansing coaches consistent felt history job knew leave mark needed open period player program
When the BC job came open I was interested. I knew the program and its history of coaches from both as a player and a coach. I thought I could leave my mark here and I always felt BC could be more consistent in having its coach. BC was going through a cleansing period and I think I needed one, too.

We're disturbed by that. You want to go out and respect the opponent and respond to that. We didn't take it as a challenge. We just went with the flow. Quite honestly, the game's over. We have to get ready for league play.
