It scared everyone. When we saw the delayed designation, our hearts dropped.
We hung in there and played our hearts out. But we were too short-handed without Devin.
I sense a little change, ... I hear it every day. 'We got to do something different, because the other way hasn't been working.'
I was shocked to find there weren't any more changes than this. I've heard a lot of comments, mostly very derogatory comments.
I heard a great explanation from Debbie Colberg, the volleyball coach at Sacramento State. She said the reason coaches scream is not for the kids, it is for the adults. If a kid screws up, yelling lets everyone know that, 'I didn't teach the kid to do that.' There's a feeling that I've got to yell or people won't think I am coaching.

It's so early in the season but week by week we are going to get better and better and we will work hard to keep this level of performance.
