When Aydelott left there was still weight lifting going on, with Coach Phillips, Coach FInch, and Coach Herzog ran the program. And spring practice was ran by Coah Phillips, because he believed in showing them he was capable of running the program, Phillips also ran practices until Blade came from California, so the team didn't miss a beat, they were always learning, Blade gave him th enew system and he started implementing it for Blade in his absence.
