Good read. From Matt Norlander. He spent some time in Storrs last week and with the team in Maui. Some behind the scenes stuff and quotes from the staff.
"I'm pretty amazed by his level of intensity," associate head coach Luke Murray tells me. "I've been around him a lot for the last 15 years and I don't know that I can remember a time where he was more intense, more competitive. He's hungrier than ever. And I don't think back-to-back titles has in any way kind of softened his approach. I think to the contrary, it's sparked even more enthusiasm to try to keep the standard where it is, elevate the standard, potentially fight off the human nature element that can kind of creep in, in any sort of complacency."
