We really do more teaching than coaching. Another aspect of our job is keeping the kids focused. These kids are at a different emotional level and if things aren't going well for them, you have to get them back up.

This squad is loaded with really great athletes and I really think they're going to make some noise in the league.

Desi never missed a practice or a game. And when players were held over in practice for extra drills, Desi stayed and did the drills with them.

This team played lights out for three quarters, but there was always one quarter of almost every game where it wasn't so good. But I have to say that we had a lot of fun and I was impressed at how they played as a team.
