TRANSCRIPT/COMMENTS:
00:00 We talked yesterday about how gratifying it is for you as a coach to see some of your guys get better and get paid like Juju money. What's your reaction to Moody?
00:09 Couldn't be more excited for Moses and his family. He's everything that we want in our program, our organization, just the character, the work ethic, the resilience. He's earned this and I'm just — I'm thrilled for him and I know how excited he is, as he should be. It's a momentous day in his career and he's got a lot of years left too. So, I think this is great for him and great for us.
00:41 You always talk about that work ethic with Moses and his journey's been a little bit different with this team, where he hasn't always been playing super-heavy rotation minutes, so I'm assuming that that, behind-the-scenes, has a lot to do with getting a three-year extension. Can you just kind of take us behind that curtain a little bit more with him and what he's shown you with his perseverance and patience and work ethic?
01:04 Yeah, I mean, we obviously want to invest in people and in people we believe in. It's — Obviously, the players have to be talented. They have to fit in with what we're trying to do, all that stuff. But it's ultimately — you're, investing in people you believe in. And Moses is, he's that person. He's always been very wise from a young age. His first year with the team, you could see a very quiet wisdom that his parents clearly bestowed upon him. And I've just always enjoyed coaching him and being around him and he's been through the ringer a little bit. He hasn't found a consistent spot in the rotation, although at such a young age, it's more to be expected, especially on a good team like ours. I mean, we won a championship in his first year and, in the last couple years, he's got a lot of guys who can play around him as, as he does this year too. So, hasn't always gone his way, but he's shown what he can do and he's earned every bit of this contract.
02:17 Related to that, was there any sort of guarantee you and the front office had to make to him, in order to get this done?
02:24 What do you mean? Guarantee you what?
02:26 A role —
02:27 No, no. No, it can't work that way. All the team and the agency was, has talked money, and everything else is about just, 'Go do your job and compete,' and we'll see how it shakes out…
