Coach Talk

A Team has no Name
You know what, A Team has no Name, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Will Fuller V), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're finished.
Xibalba
Don't beat yourself up too badly, Xibalba! There are plenty of lessons we can take away from the 2019 campaign and apply to next year... it's never too early to start strategizing and thinking about where to get better!
