That weighs on people's mind, and I think Dave thought about it and said, 'I'm going to make a change right now and move forward.

I knew he was upset; he didn't say much in the room. He just kind of packed up his stuff, took a shower and he left.
We got to come through for him.
We talked as a team that his was a big game. If we won we'd be up by 10 points, if we lost we'd be up by six, so we wanted to put some distance between the teams behind us. It doesn't matter how pretty the wins are, we have to get as many points as we can.
A wake-up call, sometimes it's needed. Andy was here a long time. If we didn't make the playoffs, there was going to be changes - players, personnel, everybody.
We need someone that's impartial, that hasn't been here a long time to get guys going to that next level.
If we get them back, that's great. But until then, everyone else is going to pick it up. We can't cry about it now. We've got only 22 games left and we've got to go out there and get it done.
I think we played nervous at the beginning and we were tense. We know they're a team that's struggling, but that's a dangerous kind of team.
