I think his success has a lot more to do with his desire than with his mind. I am never going to doubt his desire or level of it. My opinion and about 200 other coaches' opinions is that he made it possible at the state meet because he wanted to.

Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.

I could see in him a guy who would have success over the long haul. And that's what he's been. His roots have helped him. He's not one of those people who come to Pittsburgh and look around and think he's in some provincial town. He knows Pittsburgh, he understands the people, and he thinks of it as home. It's great to have him.

I don't want to say wait 'til next year because we're still in the midst of this year, but I've got everyone back. No one else can say that in this pool (today).

There's still heartbreaks in there, but we had a solid, solid meet with a great group of guys. And they have done everything that I have asked them to do.
