There weren't too many bumps in the road down low. There was better communication.

This is a woman who was actively involved in the theft, and actively involved in the registration of the car. She was only ordered to pay one-third of the money, so she has not been singled out unfairly by the courts.
anybody brain coverage grunt people takes willing
Defensive-zone coverage is not brain surgery. Anybody can do it, if you have a will. It takes very little talent. At times, there's not enough people willing to do the grunt work.

We deserved better. I thought we played pretty well.

I'm very impressed. I can't emphasize enough that the top players bought into the system. Obviously, they're playing hard, obviously, they're playing well. And that sets the precedent for the younger kids.

ask heard report reports scouting time wonderful
I've heard some wonderful things, and every report I have is better than the next. I read our scouting reports ... and after every time I'd ask how he was, and everyone said he's the real deal.
