Contract Negotiations and Team Culture
“It's not built on sand. It's genuine. It's real. You bring certain guys in because of what they can add, not just as players, but as people.”
“It's like coaching a professional player, right? He understands the concepts of the game so well. He's put so much time into it. As a coach, you better be matching or equaling that, right? Going above and beyond that because if not, he's going to be a step ahead of the coach, right? So that's... It's been awesome to be able to push each other, to make each other better.”
