We've got a lot of work to do … but it's just hard to get where we got." Counsell credited his background for his early success — and his bench coach is Pat Murphy, who was his head coach at Notre Dame during his 1989‑92 playing days with the Irish. Counsell was Murphy's first recruit at Notre Dame. "The biggest thing that helped me was being in the front office for three years," Counsell told ESPN. "I be‑ came more well‑rounded as a thinker and someone that was going to be a leader. "I get a chance to help build a team in a community that's really impor‑ tant to me. When I took over it was very clear what was going to happen and the path we were going to take. That never deterred me in any way. "We did have talent on the team and knew it was going to get traded. We thought we could accumulate tal‑ ent right away, but you never know how fast it's going to come together." Success is difficult to achieve in the professional ranks no matter the po‑ sition. But doing a demanding job at the highest level on a consistent basis is even more demanding. Melvin is counting on Counsell's potential for greatness as a manager. "He's a baseball rat," Melvin said. "He knows everyone. He knew play‑ ers on other teams … he follows the game. "Knowing the opposition is just as important as knowing your own team. And he gets the most out of players. You're seeing it this year. "I wouldn't bet against him. Look what he's accomplished. Pretty darn good."
