Coach Talk

Citrus Coolers
We do respect the confidence this past week, Citrus Coolers. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (D'Andre Swift), while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Steel City 4Life
There's still a ton of time remaining to turn this season around, Steel City 4Life! The next few opponents may glance at your win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. You've got them right where you want 'em... deploy your best possible starting lineup and they won't see it coming!
