Even if we would've shot and made it, we would've never stopped them on the other end. Our best defense was our offense. If they can't shoot, they can't score. |
He has really matured. We call him Kenny Rogers. He knows when to fold them and hold them. He has done a nice job down the stretch. |
He's done a marvelous job at Moon. It's no surprise. I remember when he was working with me, how hard he worked -- breaking down film, scouting and knowing the opponent. He's doing the same thing there and having his team prepared. He's doing a great job with his kids. |
He's really worked up his game to be able to drive and not just be one-dimensional. |
He's right up there with (1997 graduate and a member of the WPIAL 2,000-point club) Mike Colbert. |
He's well-rounded. He's not only a good basketball player, but he's a great kid as well. |
If I could take any other point guard in the league, if I could have anyone, I'd take Adam. He's a great player. |
That was the key. We weren't able to defend him inside. He was too big and too physical. We're not a big team and he was too much for us. |
There was an eternity left and I thought we could inch our way back into the game. Their size and athleticism played a role in that. They like to jump and block shots. That altered our shots a little bit. |
They flat out killed us inside in the first half. We had to make adjustments and do a better job of communicating in front of their big guys because it was easy for them to enter the post. They didn't expect us to make it difficult for them. |
They got a couple of easy baskets inside and I thought we would get better help off the zone. In the second half, they did a better job off the high post. They didn't give us any easy shots inside. |
They have all the pieces of the puzzle. They have an inside game, good shooters and a good point guard to run the show. They're going to be tough to beat. |
We had them right where we wanted them. That was our only chance. We gave ourselves a chance. If we'd run up and down the floor with that team, they would have won by 50. |
We had to pick our poison: Do we cover the perimeter or inside? They shot the ball extremely well and Devlin was just too strong for us. |
We really talked about that. They dominated the perimeter at their place. We will do what we have to do when they go zone. We got too many easy baskets and we made them do what they didn't want to do. They would go to a zone and then back to a man-to-man defense. |
