Being short, I had to look over heads. I saw the one kid shooting the ball. I saw the ball go through the net a lot. |
Cole did a good job of controlling the middle. We had a hard time getting some offensive rebounds. ... If you did get inside, Cole's big and long. He's right there and had some blocked shots. |
Dan is a three-year starter with an excellent glove who is a good line-drive hitter. |
For such a young team, the schedule worked out perfect. It really gave us a lot of practice time. |
He did shoot around with us. He seems to be fine. |
He had a couple open looks there and (being a) good player, he knocked them down. |
He had to work so hard to get open shots. It's hard when you're not a rhythm and you're not getting as many shots as you're used to. |
He threw a lot of first-pitch strikes. He competed all the way through. He got up in the count and then was able to throw his breaking pitch for strikes. |
He was limping a little bit (Thursday) afternoon. But once the adrenaline starts pumping, he should be OK. |
He's a good shooter. He knew that to win the basketball game, he had to step up and provide scoring. |
I think the double overtime (game) against Bloom last time at Bloom last time (had us ready for this one). We know Bloom has a lot of talent so they are capable of doing some damage. |
I think we kind of made a decision as a staff and the players did, too, to stay away from the summer circuit, get back to the gym and get back to fundamentals. We only played about 27 summer games and did not get in any weekend tournaments. |
If we have kids who can put the basketball in the basket and take care of the basketball, we can do the other thing. It's kind of hard to teach kids to put the ball in the basket. |
It was really weird. I talked to my wife -- I think we were 10-6 (when the rumor took hold). All of a sudden, we finished 11-15. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. |
It's just hard to tell where you're at till you go through conference. |
