He played excellent. He played within himself, got rid of the ball before the double teams came, played solid defense, rebounded. |
I wanted the kids to experience this, because I got to experience it myself. They'll cherish this for the rest of their lives. |
I'm shaking right now. I thought we were in trouble going into overtime, but these kids weren't. They're too overconfident. |
It's too bad we can't enjoy this for long because states is right around the corner. |
The difference was this time we went with a quicker lineup in the second half. Their offense is all jump shots, so we needed guys in there who could move and get out there on them. |
They play 5-for-5. Doc's no dummy. |
They're extremely quick and they all know what they're doing at all times. They get out and play defense and have all the lanes covered. They're so disciplined. |
This is a big win, because all of the top teams will be playing each other (in the next week). |
We weren't trying to slow him down, we were trying to shut him out. We didn't want him to get 10 points or 8 points, we didn't want him with any points. We threw everything at him and he still scored double figures. That just shows what kind of player he is. |
