"Your first year, it's kind of easier. You have a chip on your shoulder, you haven't won any games, no one is really giving you anything, no one's talking to you, not a lot of media around, just your local people," the coach said. "And then, all of a sudden, you start winning and guys start playing well, it starts to pick up. There's a little bit more. You're getting more phone calls for tickets. More people want to be around you. Then, it comes to you have to learn from the past. There are certain lessons we can carry over from last year to this year, but it's not the end result of what happened."
