I thought we were in a position to win (Friday) which is really discouraging. In the first two games, at no time was I really nervous about losing. It just kind of fell apart in the middle (of the match).
It is a big deal, because it is money and it's money we always meant to be able to pay (the state), but the money was never there to pay them.
Just play whoever's there and go beat 'em. If San Antonio stumbles, for whatever reason, that's when you have to pounce. You don't ever want to plan your success on the failure of others. But you're more than willing to take advantage of that.
He has everything a top coach has. He has the leadership, the passion, the commitment, the dedication, the vision, the human touch. He needs a real chance to go to a real team.
Stability at the top, you've got to have that all the time. All the great franchises, all the great teams have that. They've had the right guy who can inspire, who can lead.

I was proud of the way our team responded today. Jennifer (Hohl) did a fantastic job of distributing the volleyball, and keeping everyone involved.
Winning and losing isn't important to me so much as playing to a certain level. If we play to the level that I expect our team to play at, we should have three victories this weekend.
We have to relax, play hard and make some critical plays when the pressure's on. Right now, that will be the most important thing. That was our weakness last year too.
Head-to-head and everything being equal, San Antonio is still the better team. But San Antonio has never been able to repeat as champions because injuries have always been a factor. They win their championships after they have a short season the year before.
The goal here is to reduce the crab's population, ... Believe me, we don't ever want this to be a fishery that needs protecting.
