“Yeah, definitely talking to Billy, just getting back to being more of a traditional point guard, where I’m comfortable,” Ball said last week. “Last year was different for me, but whatever Coach asks me, I’m going to do to the best of my abilities.
“Strength, how he feels, how the ball is getting out of his hand, can he manipulate his pitches, does he feel he’s able to potentially go five, six innings, give us X number of pitches in a game,” Hahn said. “It’s about taking the time following the previous outing to put us in a position of strength and building off of that. And putting us in position to succeed when his name is called in the next round.”
When Connecticut lawmakers set up emergency regulations and legislation allowing for sports betting this fall, they barred Mohegan Sun employees, including those involved with the team, from placing bets at the sportsbook. They also prohibited anyone from betting on games involving UConn, Yale or any other university in the state.
“So the team, I spoke to a bunch of leaders one-on-one, spoke to all the players, they’re good, they’re focused on Tennessee,” Meyer said on how his team received his apology. “I apologized again for being a distraction. A coach should not be a distraction.”
“At the beginning of the match, I noticed that the middle of their court was wide open,” Macander said. “As we went on, I didn’t notice any changes to it, so I said, ‘I might as well take advantage of it when I can.’ I used the open hole.”
“Justin too is just understanding that it’s not just showing up on Sunday and playing the game,” Nagy said. “There’s a whole process to that Monday through Saturday, man. Everything is to the hour in what you’re doing. From the time you wake up, what you do, to the time you go to bed and how important sleep is, distractions outside of the building, everything else that’s going on, there’s a lot to being a successful NFL quarterback. He’s learned a lot in two weeks. We feel really good with where we’re at with this quarterback position and that’s important right now, and Justin needs to be given a lot of credit for the way he handled yesterday.”

“Speaking on change, I get to continue to implement my kind of ways I want things done and my stamp on this organization, but I don’t ever want to lose the winning ways — the culture, the ability to know what winning looks and guys that have been able to compete on that stage and have success,” Ross said. “So as much as there will be some change, you want to hold on to some of that tradition of winning and what’s been expected here.
The correct name of the ballpark is Guaranteed Rate Field, which doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. The Sox are being paid for the naming rights no matter what it’s called, so it’s your prerogative. White Sox Park, or just Sox Park, is acceptable. Some die-hards still call it Comiskey Park, the original name of the old ballpark it replaced.
“In the end, I have a great opportunity to say, ‘Yes I like this,’ or, ‘No, I don’t,’ as the head coach, right? Now, I also go back to saying last week, ‘Hey, whatever I need to do to try to be the best head coach for the Chicago Bears, whatever that is, I don’t care.’ I just want us to have the best opportunity to win. And I feel like Bill did a great job today. Our players did a great job. Our coaching staff did a great job. And we played collectively together as a team. Not just players, not just coaches, everybody. When you have that, it’s a good feeling. So we’ll continue to just keep talking. But again, with all due respect, it’s going to be the last time I talk about it.”
