I think it was a huge blow to us. We've got to learn to overcome things like that and continue to play.

Chad Morris being back helps us tremendously. Not only is he our starting cornerback, he's also one of our backup running backs. He's had a great two days of practice and his conditioning is starting to come back after being off. I think he'll be fine.

If we'd have done what they wanted us to do, we would have run the shelter into the ground.

He was a consistent 20 points for us every night. Last year he had 45 in a game. This year was more consistent. He was more complete and made himself a tougher player to guard. He was there every night this year.

It is important to us to say to victims and survivors of gunshots and violence that we are trying to do something.

I just wish he would have raped someone and been convicted. Then, he could probably still coach for us.
