Sitting in their dugout for three years, I think I've come up with a scouting report. But I'll still treat it like a regular start. When you're between the lines, it's not about (facing your old team). It's about competing - and hopefully getting a win.

We used to talk a lot on the phone about scouting reports. He had a very good way of looking at things, very humorous. He had life in perspective.

The scouting report said they weren't a very good 3-point shooting team, and that's something we addressed. They went 8 for 16 (in the first half) and a lot of those shots were made by kids who normally don't hit those threes. So I said 'stay patient, I don't think they'll drop in the second half.' And sure enough, they didn't.

My scouting report on myself is: 'Can be great. Needs to get better overall.'

I went through scouting as a young man, and I also was an Eagle Scout. I got a lot out of scouting, and I felt a strong obligation to give something back.

When I was a boy, there wasn't too many after school activities out there, like the Boy Scouts. Now scouting competes with so many things. When I was really young, the socialization was the biggest thing I learned and later the leadership skills.
