en I made a $50 bet -- a lot of money then -- with my coach that I'd win a medal. I woke up that morning and thought, 'don't get to the bottom and wish you had a second chance, because in the Olympics, you don't get a second chance.'

en It really wasn't a fair chance. I don't regret it. The players saw what was going on and it affected them. But I had a chance to do what I've always wanted to do. I was honored that the university selected me to be their coach.
