I would be naive to think that it's not going to be heavily influenced by a lot of things he's taught me.

Everything I've done up to this point has prepared me for this job.

Being from the Midwest, Troy is very familiar with recruiting the area. He's a hard worker with a great basketball mind.

They were a little hesitant of me getting into the business because they knew and were prepared for the dangers of it. I was a young kid at the time. As a parent, they didn't want me to get into it because they knew how hard and difficult it was. But if it's something you've been trained in and grown up doing, it's part of who you are.

Anyone who has the presence he has will be a huge asset to our team and our league.

I think I have been looking forward to being a head coach since I was old enough to hold a remote control. It's something that I've always known that I've wanted to do.
