“All advantage to him. He’s performed a unbelievable job and was very intelligent with the
recruitment of his gamers.

“And the rationale he bought into that's that he knew the league, knew the gamers and he knew they had been a protected wager.
“Whenever you coach at a brand new place and don’t know the league or the membership, you go to gamers you realize will carry out for you.
