That would be good for the kids. Council Rock played great. They played like you have to play to win. |
They weren't going for us and we had to change it up, much to [CR-North's] credit. |
We kept saying how important it was for us to get the boards and get good looks. I think we did a great job on that. |
We knew that the officials had warned us that he couldn't. We didn't think about it when he checked in. If I had thought about it, my daughter has plastic clips he could have used to secure it on. |
We score on almost every possession he touches the ball. |
We spent a lot of time on number 32 and an inordinate amount of time of getting under his chin. At times we struggle with that and that's my fault. We went over it in quizzes, scouting reports and tape, still he catches it and we're surprised. We told them not to be surprised and that he can shoot from all over the place. |
We wanted him to rely on other guys. We never said that we wanted to get physical with him. We just wanted other players to take the shots. We didn't want him to beat us. |
We've been begging these guys to run all year long and we have not been able to get them to run. At times tonight we pushed it a little bit and we would love to do it more. |
We've never had a situation like this before. We had to know that he could play basketball and he could help us, even if it was for one game a week. When we saw that, the kid's attitude and enthusiasm made the decision easier. |
