Our staff is anticipating a really great year. The first day of school is an anticipation of good things to come,

This isn't a day of anxiety, but a day with more of a level of anticipation,

I felt like the first day of school or something. My heart was beating a little faster, my anticipation was building up. It was like the first day of school when you go to kindergarten or something.

Especially when we have this toward the end of the school year, there is a lot of anticipation for it. This is something to set goals for. Both schools get together; there's a little rivalry.

I smiled from ear to ear when I saw him the first day of school this year. He'd grown about four inches. He's really improved tremendously. He's got a great work ethic. He's just a monster inside. He draws a lot of fouls. He draws a lot of attention. He's a pleasant surprise this year.

We have more coaches teaching at the school than we ever have. That's important because (coaches) need that school-day contact with the kids.
