I'm flattered by the honor, but I'll accept it on behalf of our whole staff. It's a reflection of the quality coaches I have around me and the talented basketball players. |
I'm just thrilled for him. It just shows you that hard work pays off, and his hard work helped us with our success this season. |
It seemed like we got better and better as the season came to a close. We played our best basketball in February as the playoffs were approaching. |
It was a real big confidence builder for us. There was a lot of emotion in that game. It meant an awful lot to our kids. |
It's important that we take advantage of our post opportunities. |
Joe makes it easy for our staff. He's willing to accept any role - whether it's point guard, power forward or center. There's not a position he can't play, and he's played them all. |
Other people are going to have to play better. Other guys are going to have to get some quality minutes and make some plays. |
Reyes hitting those shots calmed us down and gave us breathing room. Our first-half defense then picked up the tempo and Payne and Harden just tag-teamed them. But they have been doing that all year. |
The CCS is a very tough section, and to get to the finals of that (tournament) is a major accomplishment. Their strengths are their quickness and their tenacity. They're playing their best basketball right now, so we more than have our hands full. |
The way we were defending, I knew we'd be around. It looked like it would be a defensive struggle. |
They both pushed their teams to play at the highest level. |
They have other weapons, but (Galloway) is the driving force behind their success. A lot of it has to do with how we play. |
They present an incredible challenge to our team. I certainly see them as one of the better teams in Northern California. |
They were as good as advertised. |
They're very talented, and they're deep. They're experienced. They play very well together, and they have size. |
