""Yeah, man, I could say a lot of things about him," DeJean said at locker cleanout day last week. "What he's meant to me and Q, too. We've had a routine of me and Q go meet with him. two or three times a week just to go over the team we're playing, talk about different looks. And I don't think I'd be the player I am or I'd have the success that I've had without him."
""He's poured a lot into me and Q too, ever since we got here. And I appreciate him for that. And not everybody notices him and he doesn't get the recognition that I think he should. Him and coach (Joe) Kasper, what those guys mean to us in the DB room and how they coach, the intensity they bring, the passion they have for the game. It means a lot to us and doesn't go unnoticed.""
DeJean credits a particular assistant coach and Joe Kasper with playing a central role in his and Q's development through regular meetings and preparation. He describes a routine of meeting the coach two or three times weekly to review upcoming opponents and different looks. He attributes his performance and success to that coaching, saying he would not be the player he is without that influence. He emphasizes the coaches' long-term investment since their arrival, the intensity and passion they bring in the DB room, and the detailed coaching they provide. He notes that their contributions often go unrecognized.
