Coach Talk

Emperor Pelicans
Whoa, Emperor Pelicans, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. Not only did you win by 19 points, you also jumped up two places in the league standings!
FREAKS
Keep your head up, FREAKS! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that volunteer Graduate Assistant gig open at the community college down the road!
