Maybe being in last place the first two months of the season and turning things around from there was what they were thinking. Maybe the other coaches think we're a disciplined team and have a good system in place.

I'm excited and happy. I really didn't do anything different from last year.

It's kind of funny because most of them were pretty hard-nosed guys. They did whatever it takes to win, including doing the dirty work or fighting.

The last two games it's been atrocious. He called the little stuff and then the major stuff we get no calls.

It's the result of me surrounding myself with good people. All I did was give the boys a plan and they executed it. I have two teams to worry about, my players and my front office. I work hard to lead both of them and it looks like it's contagious. Everything is easier when you have great ownership and it feels like the whole city is standing behind you.

It was unbelievable. We worked so hard and then lost our composure.
