(from A Season with Coach Dick Bennett, by Eric Ferris)
Random thoughts from a largely-useless man. Old radio shows, old movies, the simple life.

Stuck in between
"My way to beat the best is to find players who believe in what we are doing, who buy into it whole-heartedly. That is what Green Bay taught me that no other place could. Those kids were so tough mentally, so skilled, and so smart, they parleyed their lack of athleticism into a strength. . . . " Bennett sat forward on his chair and pounded his fist on the desk again. "That is where I am hung up now. I don't have that here, yet. I'm stuck in between. I don't have Kentucky's athletes and I don't have Green Bay's smartness and intensity, so here I am, in between, trying to make the best of this."
