At least we're in these types of games. That makes it fun to coach, fun to play in. |
Avon is a small school, and they hadn't had a lot of success. It takes time to get a program established. |
He's been struggling a little bit with his shot as of late. He hurt his hand a couple of weeks ago at practice. But he came out and hit some big threes for us. |
I don't mind talking right now. It'll probably keep us here longer, but that's OK. |
I think winning 20 games and getting a win in the regional was a big deal for the kids. All the kids talked about those goals. |
I thought there were a couple of calls that were close ... but didn't go our way. But I thought that's where we kept our poise and composure. We didn't let that bug us. |
The first half, we were beat up and down. That was a tribute to Macomb and how they played. They are fundamentally sound like I knew they were going in. |
They hit some tough shots down the stretch. We're giving up 22-foot shots that are going in and they're not even hitting rim. Give them a lot of credit because I thought for the most part we had a hand in their face. |
We came a long ways this year, but we can still go a lot farther. It's a learning experience. ... When you win 21 games, you don't do that by accident. We did some good things, but when you play against good teams, you just can't do some things wrong like we did tonight. |
We got in a situation where we stopped playing defense with our feet and started playing with our hands. We were in a games where referees were calling that and you've got to respect that and you've got to adjust to that. |
We put them on the line and that's pretty much where they won the game from. |
