The Latham experience shows us -- both journalists and politicians -- that if you act in a certain way, you have to be prepared for that to be made public.

Their keeper was doing really good and stopped what we did have, and our guys were offsides,

I can do a hundred million things other kids can do.

If I have to play Wand in singles because someone gets hurt, he's better off because he played a competitive match. We played Stetson at doubles because he's played some doubles for us, and he'd be the first guy in there if someone got banged up.

But I think, in the longer term, the Brogden affair and the Latham affair are aberrations in what is normally a fairly productive and collaborative relationship.

I think our guys fought hard. We know we have to be a little more flexible next time. We didn't make enough adjustments.

It shows the fitness and tenacity of our team.

It is what it is, we're on the bubble, we're sitting there. Losing this puts us in definite trouble. Had we finished the season at 45 we were probably in.

This group always does better when we have to win. Now, we have to win, so I have a good feeling about that.

This is the best team I've had since I've been here. We're working hard in practice, and even the guys who aren't playing matches are helping other guys get better.
