Talking with (assistant) Doug Moe, he says these things run in streaks, and we have to ride it out and survive it. Now, it's a matter of surviving. |
That always bothers me. That was one of the major challenges, to change the culture (of the team). . . . I do think you're going to get that type of thing once in a while. |
