Coach Talk

No Mercy
Listen, No Mercy, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Bradley McDougald), while still earning a win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Charlie's Angels
Trust me (as a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that volunteer Assistant Coaching gig open at the local high school down the road! Keep your head held high, Charlie's Angels!
