Zarecky will tell you how much the coach has to improve. "For us to play .500 or better, I'm going to have to mature as a coach," he said. "When I watch San Diego State and USO play this year, I think we have equal talent and maybe a little more depth. But you still have to go against Hank Egan and Jim Brandenburg. I've only been at this level two years, and I've really got to improve. "Ifs when you get down to equal talent that coaching really kicks in. I've got to learn to play chess better at this level.
