It was tough. It was easy on the ice, but it was difficult otherwise. I had to learn everything. Guys on the team helped me a lot. The organization was real good and took real good care of me. I brought all my bills to an assistant in the general manager's office. I learned a lot.

It was all assistant producing. I basically did what everyone asked me to do. But I learned so much and met so many important people who can help open doors down the road.

What an event like this in any community accomplishes is bringing people together for goodness,'' said Leito, who was an assistant at Connecticut when Butler played there.

What this suggests is that if a homemaker or personal assistant helps these frail elders for a few hours a day, they would be less likely to experience medical conditions such as hunger, dehydration, falls and skin problems that occur when disabled older adults do not receive needed help with daily tasks. As our government is under increasing pressure to develop fiscally feasible solutions for caring for disabled older people, we feel providing disabled elders with adequate home-based care should receive further attention.

Very often I get e-mails intended for Jon Stewart from Comedy Central that are mailed to me. And the first reaction, and the first response that I or my assistant make is: Do you have the right Jon Stewart?

Even someone as lowly as an assistant U.S. attorney has to undergo a background check, and you're asked a series of very invasive questions, and you're expected to tell the truth and they're under penalty of perjury. And you're asked those questions so you can't be blackmailed or extorted.

That showed what a great organization we had and being part of a plan is all about. Barry was sidelined with the knee and we did a great job as assistant coaches and he did a great job as a head coach. The players - everyone bought into the plan.

Al Simmons is as good a defensive backfield coach as I've been around in my career. His results will be immediate at ASU. He's an exceptional coach and an exceptional person. He taught me a lot about football while coaching together with the San Francisco 49ers. I was fortunate enough to get him last year as a graduate assistant at San Jose State while he was still in the employ of the 49ers. His Pacific-10 Conference and state of California roots run deep and he will help the ASU program in many ways.

I like being assistant where you don't have any pressure on you. We didn't play a great game. They (Titusville) always play well at home. We stuck together and didn't fold, and this is an easy place to fold. I've been a part of it. I think we grew up a little bit tonight.

I've got to get back to being a head coach. That involves the relationship with your players, albeit understanding the relationship between player and head coach is well-defined.

I have to be more responsive and helpful to my assistant coaches, to give them the platform and the resources they need to be successful.

I'm sure not a lot of people will be able to tell that story. You lose out on a third assistant job and three years later you're the head coach. That's kind of unique.

I knew I always wanted the chance to play for Danny. When I was with the Edmonton Eskimos and he was an assistant coach with Calgary, I wasn't dressing my first year and he was in the spotter's booth and he'd always tell me: 'It's a good league. Be patient.' Just those little words of encouragement meant a lot. When he became a head coach, I had the urge to play for him just once in my career.

I never cross anything out. I just add to it. It's embellishing. Then my assistant puts it on the computer. It's almost like reading something new when it goes on the computer.

I have people that work for me that report to me. I report to other people. I have a budget to control. I have correspondence that leaves this office and comes to me. I have to manage my time and my assistant coaches.

The NCAA wants you to make sure nobody's fighting, and then they don't want you breaking it up. My assistant doesn't deserve any of the blame for that; I do. I didn't appreciate the double-technical because I didn't think that was deserved.

It's not about transactions. It's a service. It's like a personal assistant who receives, organizes and stores your bills.

Dave's relationship with half our team -- and it was the core half -- had really been cemented as the assistant coach. I thought it was important to bring in someone with a different type of personality.

Dave is not a big self-promoter, but his assistants, that's their job. You've got to say, 'Hey, this guy recruited Tim Duncan and developed Tim Duncan.' That's the thing the assistant coaches are selling the devil out of.

Derek did a great job working on our staff as a graduate assistant coach. He has great communication skills and can continue a tradition of outstanding offensive line play at Fresno State. Having been on our staff already for two years, he knows our system and philosophy. Additionally, I know he is going to be a great recruiter for Fresno State.

Then he was an assistant at Kansas under Larry Brown and was just an excellent assistant. He was very organized and liked to work with front-court people. He's very offensive-minded.

(Arizona assistant coach) Harold (Warren) said to me, 'She's a difference maker. (It's) just her presence in the attack. She's got speed and she's a tough player for people to match up with.

Exactly this. Maybe in an assistant chair position. I hope I never take this for granted.

I want guys who want to be head coaches. To be a good head coach you have to be a good assistant first. I want our guys looking at head coaching jobs and preparing to be head coaches because that makes them good assistant coaches.

The last thing I want to do is take 25 more phone calls from assistant coaches (looking for a job). When I get an assistant coach, I'm going to announce it as soon as I can.

It takes a lot more people than just me to get an award like this. You're going to have to have really good assistant coaches.

I like this gym. I've been doing pretty well. Coach (Jared) Casper, our assistant coach, tells me to trust my muscle memory. I've shot a million threes in my life. It's different here (E Center) because the background is so far away, but I just shot it the way I always do.

I just know that we did the right thing, ... We called an assistant coach and said that we heard that football may not be going on at Tulane, and we would like to go through the proper channels when the time comes.

I had a good run there as an assistant coach. You are always going to have fond memories of places where you had success. As far as what it means in this exact game, this will be a tough game against a good football team at their place ... in a hostile environment. It's a huge order but it's doable.

His attitude has been terrific. (Glynn, an assistant captain, and Nanavati) have handled it perfectly. They both played last year and pretty much split their duties. Their attitudes have been terrific. They understand that. Without that positive attitude, I don?t think we are going to have the same success.

I have the luxury of having a head-coach caliber assistant coach. He knows our tradition and focuses in on the defense. He's unpaid and is greatly appreciated.

I heard from head coaches, recruiting coordinators, assistant coaches. It was cool. I answered every one of them when it was convenient.

I really took it because he was here. I didn't know what I was walking into. I wouldn't be able to do it without him. By him being a recruiter and assistant in Lufkin and doing it for so many years, he was able to get it together for me. All I had to do was walk on the floor.

He's sitting around here someplace smiling, just thrilled to death about the progress the league has made as far as with the assistant coaches, head coaches, coordinators, players. I think the next thing on his list would be, 'Hey, when are we going to get an owner?' Knowing him, that's what he would say.

By firing my assistant the board is undermining township government and the fiscal officer.

He's very intense. He's an excellent recruiter he works very hard at it.

He's already doing an excellent job at it.

I prepared in the long run, conditioning and training, with Coach Cochrane and Christina Winkler, our assistant coach. ... I really didn't expect a provisional at all.

I pushed very hard for him to take the job. He was with me as an assistant for a few years prior and that was an amazing experience. I'm pretty sure I learned more from him then the other way around.

I didn't see Angela until her second-to-last high school basketball game. I didn't know much about her until my student assistant at the time, Mandy Sterling, told me I had to see her play. Scott Eaton (NKU associate athletic director) had kids at Highlands, and he told me about her too. So I figured I needed to head over there to see her play, and I liked what I saw.

I didn't see it as clearly as my assistant coach did, but he's got very good judgment, and when he was arguing about it, I knew we had something there. But (the umpires) said they didn't see it, so that's the way it goes.

I didn't spend a lot of time with prison guards, but my father was an assistant district attorney for a long time so I was always hearing stories about prisoners and prison guards.
