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."
