Jim Baron Quotations

Parfait sprained his ankle, and he was out. We needed another ball handler, another guy to help in the backcourt. I thought he did a very fine job. We really missed Parfait from a defensive standpoint, because he's so aggressive. Down the stretch, it's important we do a better job of that.

Parfait played solid, he played under control and very poised.

We're continuing to build. It continues to take time. It's a process. We won 20 games my second year, 20 my third year. Then last year, our two best players were out with season-ending injuries. We have to refuel the fire to build the new chemistry.

He plays to win. He's done that before. He stepped up and made a big-time shot.

Coming off last year, yeah, it's a little bit surprising.

We dug ourselves a little bit of a hole and we tried to fight back. We had too many turnovers. You can't do that against good basketball teams.

You've got be ready to play that style for 40 minutes. It wears you down. They got so many weapons they force you to turn the ball over and get you out of your game. I think it's a very unique style.

It is a challenge. Everybody's in high gear with a lot of adrenaline going. It went well last year.

The response was far beyond my expectations. It seems like something people in the community want to see.

(Last year) definitely helps. Will Daniels had to step up; we had a number of guys that had to step up. That certainly helps you, because they went through a baptism by fire and got some quality minutes. Now, you have to continue to build continuity and continue to build chemistry with each and every game.
