I didn't really understand the magnitude of the job I was taking. Two significant things happened during that process. I met Mikeli Wesley and we talked about rebuilding the Cougar program. Then I had a chance to recruit a young man from my hometown, Terrell Lyday. This is a great tribute to the players.
Players win championships.
I love the effort tonight, it was a great effort. It has certainly been a great experience to win this championship. Not that we don't have good younger players, it's just that they have a different role. These young men come to practice and give us a great effort, don't have attitude and don't have a hidden agenda. It's really nice as a coach to coach those types of young people.
