Miller on Budding Team Chemistry

"The brand as a whole has grown. You know, we were just kind of playing on blind faith there for a while, and I know I'm supposed to go and I know I'm supposed to play hard. But what does that really look like, and how does that fit together? So the puzzle pieces are coming together a lot better, knowing the defensive brand and how and when do I go and trap and fly around and then offensively."

Miller on Continuing to Develop Culture

Yeah, I'd like to think this is our default setting. So it's nothing to really brag about or help your chest about is who we are every single day. How do you win every single day? And that'll show up by product for us, with the culture and the winning daily and being more than champions in the classroom the community. So it's just like normal default setting, because this is how we do things, and this is how it should look like. Look, and I'm proud of our kids."

Miller on Team Overcoming Adversity

"It's been awesome to see them come together. I mean, that huddle is tight. It is a group that is talking engaged eye contact. When you come into a huddle as a coach after a time out like that, in a close situation, I just breathes a sigh of relief. It's like, okay, they've got this like, I don't have to coach up their confidence. I don't have to make sure they're engaged, they're locked in. So I think those tight situations has helped us to really settle in as a team."
