Last year was kind of a blur.

Top to bottom, it's been terrific all year long. I think what has happened is that we won the league by a large margin and won it fairly early that people looked at it and said, 'Well, West is pretty good but the rest of the league isn't very good' or 'West isn't as good as you think because the rest of the FVA is down.' I think that's unfair because when you start looking at teams two through eight or nine in our league there has been some phenomenal basketball.

Last year was a blur with all I was going through (off the course) and sometimes I don't know how I managed to stay focused when I was inside the ropes,

You want to get the first one out of the way, ... It's awesome. It was kind of a blur, but it's also a weight off your shoulders.

Boy, defensively we were just dynamite. That says a lot about our intensity and our will to win. We have just such a determined group of guys.

They get over it after a while. They are probably so sick of hearing our voices, I'm sure they'd enjoy some down time.
