Brian Katz Quotations

We're just happy to be playing another week. Let's tee it up and see how we do.

We're getting better. We had 34 offensive rebounds in two games last week, and I told the guys if we continue that we'll be hard to beat.

Shocking. I don't know if I've seen something like that in a big game.

He's a long, athletic guy that can run, jump, defend anybody, make athletic plays, get out and run the court. When he has to switch on a screen and defend a guard, it's a mismatch in his favor because he moves his feet so well.

He's figured out how we've wanted him to play all year, and that's anchor the middle and change shots and make it very difficult for people to shoot around the basket. He has been a factor now in the last few games defensively.

I thought for a tenth of a second that we were going to play the next day for the state title. The Great Equalizer said, 'You appear to be a little cocky, young man. The minute you think you've got something ...

When the (Big 7) was formed, it was considered to be a power conference. It's lived up to its billing. It's been our most difficult conference to win because every team is good.

The problem is getting a taxi to the airport. There aren't any.

Those kinds of things wear on you after a while. If you miss a few, if you're worried about getting your shot blocked, it affects the way you think about the game.

We changed our flight last night, there was no problem there. The problem is getting a taxi to the airport. There aren't any.

Besides being a great person, he's been our most consistent player. He's a good 3-point shooter, he's a leader, and dare I say he might be our best on-ball defender ever.

You really have to be proud of the kids for buying in and sacrificing for the team. That's the beauty of coaching.

This could be a very interesting week. A lot of things could happen between now and the end of the year.

They were the better team tonight. There's no shame about it.

I never discuss the officiating. I know it's tempting sometimes right after an emotional game, but I won't do it.

I don't know if we've had too many players have a better year. His sophomore year was probably as good as any kid we've had as long as I've been here.

He came back, battled through it and earned some minutes. It culminates with him getting a full scholarship. You have to feel good about that.
