Black is a color of power and strength, and to see all those players, with the captains linking their arms in front-it's a powerful picture.
How can a coach have any influence over a player that's making over five times more than he is?
I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family, to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. It had a great psychological effect on the opposing team, too. They'd never seen anything like it.

We're the only dance in town. We don't compete with any professional teams for the entertainment dollar.
Welcome to the Salvation Army. I've never been associated with an offense so nice about giving the ball away.
You can't control people. You must understand them. You have to know where they're coming from, their beliefs and values, what turns them off, what they're against.
You just witnessed an old-fashioned rump kicking.
