He called me around 7.30pm on Thursday evening and said that his plane crashed somewhere in the forest and asked me to alert the rescue services and police before the line went dead. Which meant the team got there after two hours instead of 40 minutes only. |
He came all the way up through the ranks the hard way. He's a great boss, because having been an enlisted man, he really has an understanding of what it's like to be one. He's got a great understanding of enlisted people and their value to the organization. |
He came to me because he was concerned about getting thrown out at second. I told him he did the right thing. You need to tell them when they do the right thing. Reggie understands that he's big and strong, but he's also a speed guy, and he has to use that. |
He can't remember what he had for breakfast this morning. We have to constantly remind him. He keeps asking what day it is, what year it is, and to have to live your life, and we so often live our lives based on our memories, it's a difficult chore for him. |
He controlled the night in the city of Albany. Everything had to go through him, whether you were working with another agency, you had to go through him. If you wanted to make an arrest, you had to go through him, unless, of course, a cop witnessed a crime. |
He couldn't see when he was here. And being there, they did a great job there. Everybody did a great job. Our trainer got right to him. An ophthalmologist rushed across town and examined him. Now they said his vision's good and they're going to release him. |
He did not come to Vegas with the express intent of driving on the sidewalk and killing people. That wasn't his intention when coming to town, ... However, the instantaneous decision was made, and he did deliberately and intentionally drive on the sidewalk. |
He did not have the preseason that I'd want him to have, ... I think (Friday) night he played very well. He just needed to play. He figures very big into our plans. ... He absolutely has a role. We mix all five of those guys into different personnel groups. |
He didn't even move. He just stood there at second. I talked to him in the dugout and he said he thought the ball was going to go foul. You still would be running. To me, that's not a good enough answer. So I just put the other guy out there and we move on. |
He doesn't have very good command of his fastball. He's not exactly the Friday-night guy we thought we were going to have. Either he's going to stay the way he is, and we're going to have to score more than five runs, or it's going to be a work in progress. |
He doesn't put up big numbers, but he does all the little things. He'll go down and get you a tough (rebound), he'll post up if a smaller guy is on him, he'll shoot it only when he's open, and he can take bigger guys to the basket. He's just very unselfish. |
He exhibited tremendous intelligence. And he liked to mess around with his opponents on the track. He didn't just want to beat them. He really wanted to break their hearts ... He would let them get ahead for just a minute and then turn it on and crush them. |
He got a clean look. It looked like it was going in from our angle. It's just tough. There were just a couple of plays down the stretch that could have gone our way, and they just didn't. ...That might be the best we've played all year from start to finish. |
He had at least one or two (concussions) as a ninth-grade player on JV. So we put him in one immediately. He might have had a slight one (concussion) over the three-year period he was on varsity, but it didn't seem to take on the same seriousness as it had. |
He has a strong agenda for helping kids. Troy has been very active in the school district, and has a reputation for being very fair-minded. He also understands issues that school districts statewide face in terms of bringing results and federal legislation. |
