Any time you get a loss, it's a wakeup call. This is a game we really wanted to get. We got what we deserved with the ranking. We had a chance to be one of the first teams in the country to get to 20 wins.

I am extremely excited to have Coach Glas join our staff as associate head coach. He's a coaching legend. To have someone of his experience joining our staff is invaluable. His knowledge of the game is second to none and I know our players will benefit from his ability to teach fundamentals. Above all else, he is a mentor and a terrific friend. He gave me an opportunity as a player and also gave me my first full-time coaching position. I couldn't be happier that we'll be working together again.

I don't see my philosophy in terms of the way our team plays changing much. I really don't. I don't like change with anything I do. I especially don't like it when things are going well.
