Coach Talk

Nashville Ninjas
You know what, Nashville Ninjas, we do respect the confidence. It takes real gumption to play a starter with zero points (Eric Kendricks), while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're done.
Clark Kent
Chin up, Clark Kent! Take my word for it (this is coming from a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that gritty Graduate Assistant gig open at the community college down the road!
