“I think it’ll be good for our team to get out. We’ve been gone, but we really haven’t been gone since we got back from California and Vegas [in early November], so we’re looking forward to it. We just have to play one game at a time. I think every coach in the League would tell you that right now. We’re not looking at the standings because you go from first to seventh in one night without even playing, so it really doesn’t matter.
Everybody is there to service the players so that they can play their best. I think the staff here does an outstanding job. They have every tool they need and are committed to it. Our players certainly don’t go without. There are zero excuses because our staff does such a good job.
We always talk about that before we leave and hope it comes to fruition. But if you suck the whole trip, then it’s not a lot of fun bonding like that. There are opportunities for the players to get out, get together, have team dinners, and all that stuff that we talk about all the time.”
