The thing with youth is, you don't know what to expect -- good or bad. I think if you know that going in, sometimes you have to adapt on the fly.
"I have no idea what our young players are capable of, so I will assume the worst. Even so, when they surpise me with good play, I will sometimes leave them in the game and take credit for it afterwards."

Quote:
We have a pretty good luxury, that we have a core that we can win with right now, but we have the ability to play young guys to have a situation to win in the future.
"We are best when we primarily play our core guys. The reason I play the bench during the regular season is to develop them for next year and beyond. When the playoffs arrive, training time is over and it will be back to the core."
