Coaching is the great passion of my life, and the job to me has always been an opportunity to work with our student athletes and help them discover what they want.

I lost my confidence.

I remember teaching a clinic to other coaches, and a guy raised his hand and asked if I had any advice when it came to coaching women. I leveled him with a death-ray stare, and said, 'Go home and coach basketball.'

I've got a great staff and great support system, and I'm going to stick my neck out and do what I always do.

When you grow up on a dairy farm, cows don't take a day off. So you work every day and my dad always said, 'No one can outwork you.'
