As a side note to the game, President/CEO and principal owner Duane "Spyder" Hughes made his professional coaching debut. Coach Floyd couldn't make the game for personal family reasons. I only did this for this game. I had a tough act to follow with the team having beaten the Pit Bulls last week. I'm an old point guard. I did what comes instinctive to me. I am sure that Tim Hardaway wanted to avenge last week's loss. I did my best. I guess it just shows hows good Coach Floyd is - cause it wasn't good enough - but it sure was fun. We'll come back when we play them next Tuesday and Thursday in Charlotte."
