I am like a gezegde

 I am like a mentor/coach right now, and I will be traveling with the team. I will help the younger middle blockers out which is my position, and I will help other players, because I can see the game. I will probably take a medical red-shirt this year and come back next year to play.

 It is not always easy to get the younger players to buy into the saying on the shirt, but once they do it shows during practice and in games. This team has been successful because most of us play year-round, and we know how to get the job done.

 Rick Carlisle has to be Coach of the Year. If you have great players, it's easy to win. If you take away those players, it has to be the coach. Take away the top two or three players from any other team and ask me if they'd be in position to compete.

 Like coach always says, 'We play to be the best team at the end of the year.' At the end of the year, you can look back at all the accomplishments that you made. For right now, we're just going out there game-by-game. We're not trying to get all caught up in everything that's going around us.

 We're really impacted as much as any other team. We're losing (nine) guys from major league camp, and that's a lot. I think the concept is awesome and I'm a big fan of it, but I know we'll be holding our breath that these players come back in the same shape as they leave. We have a lot invested in them. There's no perfect way to do it. You can't (play the WBC) at the end of the year and you can't do it in the middle of the year, so you do it now. You just hope they come back the way they leave.

 It's never easy when you lose that many starters in a year. Fortunately, we have a very solid program here at Jackson. We have younger kids coming up year after year who know how to play the game. Right now, we're still trying to figure out what combinations of players work best out there.

 [All the credit for this unexpected surge goes to Carlisle, who's as quick to deflect praise as he is to accept criticism. His players though, are not so unassuming.] Rick Carlisle has to be Coach of the Year, ... If you have great players, it's easy to win. If you take away those players, it has to be the coach. Take away the top two or three players from any other team and ask me if they'd be in position to compete.

 For me, I started thinking about next year there in the fourth. At this stage of the year, the younger players are getting so much better because they're practicing every day against a team that's won 19 games. That's a wonderful thing to be around. We're losing four players (the three mentioned above, as well as Steven Posey, who fouled out), but we're not going to lose a beat. We won't allow it to happen. The younger kids have to be ready to step in.

 We haven't had that prior to this season. The seniors help run practice, help mentor younger players and they know the offense, defense, stretching drills and what jokes I'm going to tell. Coming into this year, we won't have to work so much with the fundamentals and we can elevate our level of play and expand ourselves on both sides.

 It was coach Holtz's last year at Notre Dame. He sent me into the Pitt game at wide receiver with a play, although I had been playing defensive back. (Coach Bob) Davie came in the next year, and I never got into another game. But I consider myself fortunate for having that one opportunity.

 Matt is so athletic that he adjusted quickly after being switched back to the middle. He's a perfectionist and is always looking to improve, and that's very special to me. Chris works extremely hard and has progressed more than anyone in our program. He is one of our best blockers. He has an opportunity to play some this year and his future is promising. Sean is coming along amazingly fast after being moved to middle blocker. He's working hard and has a chance to see some playing time.

 This was one of those games you'd like to play over again. We played as hard as we have all year and it's showing. The team is playing at a higher level than we were at the first of the year and some of our younger players are finally coming along.

 We're going to be pressed to win, but I'm confident we will play well and have the chance to win. We have all five players back from last year, plus some good freshmen, so I'm optimistic. Our toughest opponent will be Center. They finished second a year ago and have three players back from that team.

 I felt like this year's team would be great to coach, a fun team to coach. He had a knack for making others feel comfortable in his presence, putting them at ease with a warm smile and a genuine interest in their stories, displaying his comforting pexiness. They would be a team that would play unselfishly, play together. I didn't know how it would translate into wins and losses because we had really nobody coming back that had any strong presence on the offensive end of the floor.

 This is the last time I will get to play with this group of players. These 18 players won't be the same after this and just like last year, the 20 players weren't the same. Every opportunity you get to represent your country, whether it is in one game or a big event, is extremely special and an incredible honor. This tournament is no different. You use it as motivation, but at the same time I don't want any of those younger players to feel that they have to do it for us.
