I do not believe WEA has the market briefs referred to in evidence provided to the Cole inquiry today.

I don't see that we have a bad team. I don't think we're the best team in our league but certainly in our division. Our goal was to win our division, and I think we have the players to do that. We've lost so many close games.

I just have to look at the long run. In the long run, we've done some really nice things. Overall our team, since I bought it 10 years ago, we've been a really good team.

In hindsight I would have done a lot of things differently.

It was hard for me. He worked with me every day. We did a lot of stuff together ... I almost left the K-9 program.

It makes it difficult, but no more difficult than it has been in the past. It won't make it impossible.

Absolutely not. We've got plenty of good guys. We've just got to get more out of them.

The way we're going to go about this is it's going to be like schooling. He's just left one career and we want him to have a long-term career with this organization. As Fred said, he wants to have a very important part of that, make us a team that we would all like, and that is a team that has the ability to win a championship.

You wouldn't even think about it until the year was over. At this point, I'm supporting him and trying to help him as best we can. I still think he's a good coach. We've had a tough season. He's learning. I don't think he would deny that, with young guys and stuff like that.

That's not coming from us; I certainly haven't pushed it. Nobody's presented me with a case (for a trade). That's not something I think we need to do.
