(Resigning) has nothing to do with boys basketball. It is for a personal reason. I have three daughters and it was becoming a conflict to be with them as a dad and then be the boys coach. |
After they get past the disappointment of this loss, I think they'll be proud of what they accomplished. |
Clay did a great job getting to the basket. I can't say enough about Ryan Wilson ... I thought he did a great job handling the ball and attacking the defense. |
Corey came to the state tournament to play. He's playing his best basketball of his career. He's shooting well, but he's defending and rebounding well, too. |
Free throws are big, because if you don't make those free throws, they can keep coming back. |
I have never had a Bruin team play as hard as we did tonight. |
I thought in the second have were were a little tight and a little tentative. We were trying to hold on to the lead instead of attacking the basket. |
I thought our last game with Sentinel got away from us. We were up the whole game until the last five seconds. Our guys really want to prove something and end the season in style. |
I thought this (past) season was a very good season and was proud of what we did. |
I was very proud of the composure of the kids... I never saw any doubt in our kids, I thought they fought right back and got the lead again. |
I'm very proud to be a Bruin coach today. A lot of kids could just back off and give up after a disappointing loss. There's just no quitting with our kids. |
In victory or defeat, I will take this group of kids out on the court and be proud to be with them. They can hold their heads high and be proud of what they've done. |
It probably wasn't much to watch from a fan's standpoint, but it was a big win for us. I never felt like we got in a flow on offense or defense. We played well in stretches, but didn't get it going. |
It's a quick turnaround on this one. Both teams are very familiar with each other, so I don't see an advantage either way. We both played over the weekend and only had one day to practice for this game. |
Our game plan (defensively) was we needed to make Butte shoot over us and we did that. |
