Notes
Head Coach Mike Sherman
On handling the amount of losses with a veteran
team
“I’ve
never quite experienced what we are experiencing
this year, neither as
a head coach nor as an assistant. To be as close
as we are and then
lose a ballgame, four out of our five losses we
lost by a total of 14
points, three and a half points a game, to be in
the position to win
those games numerous times and not take advantage
of that I’ve never
experienced that before, so there’s a first for
everything and I hope I
don’t have to go through that again. "
