Head coach satisfied with practices in early season

Have you been pleased with your team's performance in practice so far?

Yes, I have. I think we have worked extremely hard, and I like our attitude a lot. Those are positives.

Do you feel that student-athletes should be compensated with benefits other than tuition since athletics takes up so much time?

No, not right now. They do a lot for the university, but I think they have enough to budget on and the kids that are really in need will generally get money from the Pell Grant.
