Bottom line, it was just flat-out effort. They wanted to send a message and they did that. |
He has an administrative degree, never used it. He had an opportunity to go to Waukee and utilize his degree and be the head coach. |
He is one of the best coaches in the state of Iowa. If I am going to pattern my success after someone, I want it to be him. |
He just loves to compete. He goes as hard as anybody in practice. He just brings it every night. He's a dream reserve. Everyone wants a kid like Joe Muldoon on their team. |
He's an outstanding coach and person. Class sums it up in one word. |
I asked my trainer, 'What are we doing?' and he said that if we didn't need him, don't put him back in. |
I don't know how to explain it. He is just an unbelievable freaky athlete. He's capable of doing that every night; he really is. |
I don't remember the game but I do remember how sad everyone was. |
I just love them. We have such a kinship that goes beyond a coach-player relationship. |
I'd drive up Madison (Avenue) and I'd see this kid out there shooting baskets every day, so I knew he had the desire to be good, and it's paying off. |
I'm a graduate of Hoover, I've been an assistant or head coach the last nine years and I have never seen a Hoover team hold an opponent to two single-digit quarters ? nine points or less ? and still be down at halftime. That just is unheard of. |
If you're used to scoring 70 points a game and suddenly you're in games in the 30s and 40s, that's a heck of an adjustment. |
In this league you can't factor in a home-court advantage. It's probably pretty equal on both ends. |
It's a matter of time before they are competing for conference and state rights. |
It's like the big time, man. |
