One-on-one with Yeagley

IDS: 544 more wins to beat your dad in an Indiana jersey, but how did the first one feel?

Yeagley: The first one felt good. When you give me those stats, I’m not a big fan of those stats.

I think as a staff we’ve done a good job of just trying to maintain the moment of each game. I know that might sound cliche, but you have to when you’re in my position. You have to take it each day.

We’re trying to get this culture where we’re at our best and when you have that, you find you win more games, which is bottom line, and players understand that.

I enjoy history and looking at things, but...I’m not keeping that stat going. You’d certainly like to rack up as many wins as you can, but he’s in a special category and one that I think will be there for a long, long time.
