But obviously I asked him not to go, like the president did, because I like working for him and have great respect for what he's done here.
asked chance coaches expect good knew listening next rate remember seat sitting talking team teams three tv
I wasn't used to doing TV interviews, and I remember sitting there listening to the other coaches being interviewed, ... I was in awe. I had a good seat because I was going to be next and they asked him how do you expect your team to do and how do you rate the teams. I remember the coach saying, 'There are three teams here with a chance to win.' I knew he had to be talking about our team as the team that didn't have a chance.

His team knows how bad he wants to win and they probably have a better chance now because he doesn't put as much pressure on them as he used to.
biggest changes coming difference faster maturity player question seen
That changes your maturity level. She's seen the speed. That's the biggest difference for a player coming to a new level. It's faster and you don't know if you're ready. I don't think there's any question she's ready.
advantage gave hampshire start tight
I thought we were loose, ... and that gave us the advantage because New Hampshire probably was a little tight to start with. And then it's all dominoes.
game good reputation respect somebody
He's a good guy. Also, there's a respect thing. When you're young you want to get to know somebody like that because he already had the reputation of being a very good game coach.
backup knew tough tried
I already knew it was going to be a tough day because I wasn't going to have my staff. I tried to have backup, but then my backup didn't show up.

Kitty is just someone Matt has to visit every once in a while. We never say it, but Kitty is a prostitute, plain and simple.

I think it's a good way for all four teams to start the year,
