The transition period was ordsprog

The transition period was tough, but this now allows us to keep moving forward with what we were doing. If a new coach came in there would be a new system and it would take everyone time to adjust, but with coach (Dempsey) we already know him and he knows us. I think it?s great.

They are a well-coached team. Coach Eaves is a great coach and I really think he stressed clogging the neutral zone because he knew we had a good transition game. At the same time I think we still had our chances to win the game.

We're ahead of the game. He's on board as our coach, and we will continue moving forward with him as our coach, very happily so.

It was really exciting to win it again. It's two totally different feelings to play in it and coach in it. I'm a lot more nervous as a coach than I was as a player. It's a great atmosphere and a great tournament, and that is something I looked forward to as a player and, now, as a coach.

Our guards did a good job of moving the ball up the floor in transition, and I just tried to focus on running the break every time. I noticed that helps us out a lot when we get out in transition. That?s when we?re at our best, so it?s just something that (assistant coach Chris Dailey) told me to focus on a lot, I tried to do it every single possession down the court.

Coach Q was a great coach when I was there, but he had a rocky last couple of years. It's unfortunate. He's a great coach, and I know he's going to bounce back some other place. But it was probably time for him to leave. A lot of people wanted him out of there.

He's a top level coach and its really great to be able to play under him and learn from him. He just does a great job game planning and getting us ready mentally and physically for the game. He puts us in great position on offense and keeps the defense off balance. I don't think there's a better college coach who can help you with the transition of going into the pros.

Peter and I have a great relationship. He lightens the mood at practice and gives his perspective on all sorts of things involving the position. He is also someone I can go to for advice. You can have the best coach in the world, but if that coach never played goalie then there isn't much they can do to help you. Having Peter as a coach has been huge for me. The system worked for him, so I know it will work for me.

It's tough. I wouldn't want to change places with (Saints coach) Jim Haslet. He's a great guy and a good football coach. But it's tough to be in the situation they're in right now.

It's tough, because he has a lot of respect for Coach Donovan and (associate coach Anthony) Grant. But he's looking forward to finishing this season and his future opportunities.

Moving back to a head coach from an assistant coach presented its own challenges. When you are the head coach you are setting the tone. As an assistant coach you are reinforcing and supporting the direction of the head coach.

It was a lot different. Last year I used to get the defensive calls from [former assistant coach] Dave Dempsey. When I was looking over there I was looking for him. He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. It was different getting plays from different coaches. It just takes time to get used to it.

I couldn't come from a better college system. Coach Weis brought a very pro style offense and approach to the game. The transition into that last year helped me and I think it's going to continue to help me in the transition to the next level.

It was a great game to win and an equally tough one for a coach to lose. [UIC coach] Jimmy Collins did a great job switching defenses on us.

We're looking forward to it. Tough players win tough games. That is what the coach says all of the time.
