Coach Talk

Paul's Team
You know what, Paul's Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
BHOMBERS
Keep your head held high, BHOMBERS! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that volunteer Assistant Coaching job available at the nearby high school down the road!
