"It's just a blessing to be able to do this, it's a blessing to be able to help these young people. I just told them that in the locker room. It's a testament to my staff, it's a testament to the people that worked for me before, it's a testament to these players and all of the players that have played for me in the past. I'm just so ecstatic about that, and I'm excited for another hundred."
