Brett was shooting the ball no matter what because he's the best player in the state of Utah. |
He did a tremendous job of going to the rim and he's the one who changed the game for them. |
He slipped it down the middle and got a good-looking 8-footer. Brett was shooting the ball no matter what because he's the best player in the state of Utah. |
He's a great player, a great offensive player. He loves taking the big shot and being the guy. |
I don't know that it was easy, but it's just nice to have the newspaper here and get a win, because we were 0-2. |
I feel like we got outplayed in the second half. American Fork come out physical and did a fine job of turning the game around. Fortunately we made a few free throws at the end and did what we had to do to win. |
I really don't have an explanation for our fast start. But the goal is to win games and we got out of here with a win and we're going to play another day and that's all that matters. |
I thought they did a tremendous job of turning (the physical play) up and doing what they needed to do to make us struggle. But if we make our free throws down the stretch we win this game easily. |
I'm an offensive coach, and when the guys want to try and score and they think they can score, I'm going to let them go score. I don't want to tighten them up. |
I'm just pleased with winning the game. I don't care how we play, I just want to win games. I'm not concerned with playing the perfect game. |
That was a huge comeback for us. It was a situation where these kids played hard and wanted to win. |
The one thing we didn't want to do was to have the lead and tighten up, so with the lead down the stretch, we looked to push the pace. |
The ranking early was nice, but it ended up hurting us a little bit because our kids thought they were the No. 1 team and didn't realize how hard they were going to have to work to win basketball games. |
We had some different kids make some big shots. I thought Davey Johnson was huge early when we were struggling. And then our normal guys made some big shots and did some good things. |
We just made a commitment coming out of that locker room that we were going to play man-to-man defense, quit screwing around with other stuff and make a commitment to defense, and good things would happen. |
