(On his first two-game losing streak as a coach since 2007) “It’s hard. You lose one game, you lose two games, it’s hard. It is hard. I think that the important thing is to stay strong and stay positive and not let all the outside noise rattle any of our players. I’m really good at that, because I don’t pay attention to anything on the social media. If I did, I’d probably quit right now. I hope our players can do the same, but I know that’s the world they live in. And that’s where, we go back to when we started (here), I’d always been against some Twitter things and all those, because I tell our guys, ‘How are you going to let someone validate you make a couple good catches or play a good game (when that person) really doesn’t know what’s going on. And then, likewise, when you struggle a little bit, now all of a sudden you’re in the tank because everybody piles on — and they still don’t know what’s going on. They don’t know what your preparation is like; they don’t know what you’re like as a person and all those types of things. I just think that stuff can be scary. I think one thing that helps is, just everybody pays attention to what we’re doing and kind of isolate ourselves a little bit. And it’s even hard when you do that because we’re all so prideful ourselves; everybody’s trying to do the best job we can.”
