Wheels then asks about how quickly things have moved in Kaleb life since he was named interim coach in February. Kaleb mentions how he really hasn’t been able to take time to realize that he is the coach of the team. Canales talks about how he coached the season and then went right into the draft, working with new GM Neil Olshey, and making decisions on who he is going to draft.

Wheels states that many people in the organization including himself and players like Canales as coach and would like to see him as the Head Coach without the Interim tag on him.  Listen to the whole interview below to listen to Canales thoughts on Neil Olshey and how he feels about the support he is getting from the fan base, organization, and players.
