In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

It's a really neat and special coincidence, but it's nothing but a coincidence. This wasn't set up to give Matt that honor. It's just the way it worked out. It's a neat extra.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.
