They were closer to shore than we've ever seen them, and extremely vocal -- a cacophony.

Yet 90 miles off my shore, closer than from here to Richmond, Virginia, I can't even get a commission to assess whether or not we should do something differently. That is outrageous.

Afterwards, David said, 'I can play something other than cacophony,' ... I'd been in a band in high school, and I'd been missing it.

They basically told me I have the right to be more vocal, you have the right to push everybody else when some guys are slacking off some days. They want me to do a better job of getting on them and demanding the best of them, because that's what all the great players do, they demand the best out of their teammates, and make everybody better.

He's always played like a leader out there on the field. But he's more vocal before we go out there, right before the games. He speaks up and kind of fires guys up.

We've been trying to snap that record, and we had been getting closer and closer every meet. We've been working extremely hard, and it finally paid off.
