almost hard left stuff together worked
It was hard for me. He worked with me every day. We did a lot of stuff together ... I almost left the K-9 program.
ability career fred left team wants win
The way we're going to go about this is it's going to be like schooling. He's just left one career and we want him to have a long-term career with this organization. As Fred said, he wants to have a very important part of that, make us a team that we would all like, and that is a team that has the ability to win a championship.
advantage convince
We will try to convince him that it would be to his advantage to play with us.
asking basketball both decision few fred front gotten join minute office past player retire waste
We have gotten to know Fred very well over the past few years, both as a basketball player and as a person. When Fred relayed to us his decision to retire we didn't waste a minute in asking him to join our front office staff.
I don't know. We'll see if we get to that point.
stand
I do not see that as a possibility. As I stand here, I just don't see a possibility that makes sense.
I do not see that as a possibility.
came problem work
I came to work right away. That's the problem with those competitive guys.
below close felt looking number player teams won
If we had won a number of those close games, we probably wouldn't have thought about doing the trade. Looking at the results, which were below our expectations, we felt we had to do something. Wally was a player other teams wanted.
surprised valued
I have always valued his input. He has not surprised me with any of his comments.
results sam year
I think Sam is a closer, which is what we could have used right now. Sam could do that. The results are Sam is probably having a better year than Marko is having.
financial help player rid somebody summer until york
It isn't that we couldn't use somebody like that. It would have to be one of those things where New York would have to say that they really want to get rid of the player and could help us in some financial way to do it. We wouldn't know until this summer if that would even be a possibility.
additional college helped offense varied
Konrad probably has more of a varied offense than Brock did at this time. The other thing that's probably helped Konrad is that he's got two additional years in college wrestling.
assume guy judge less longer period played playing though time work
I think you work with a guy over a longer period of time and you try to judge him over the whole period of time. Though we're having difficulties this year, I don't just judge a person... . I assume some of the times we played better than we should have. Now we're playing probably less than my expectations. I don't want to judge him just on this (season).
