Bobby Carter Quotations

We were at the captains meeting last night and discussing the storm and we decided the only alternative to postponing was to move it up. That way, we figured we could get the boats back here Friday ahead of the weather and then they can either stay in safe harbor here or make it back to their home port. We gave them that option and also the option of withdrawing.

I hate that we ended up with 71 boats, but we did the right thing. I can understand why a lot of guys didn't want to go. We've got a lot of custom-built boats that cost several million dollars (and fishermen) who just didn't want to risk it in 11- to 14-foot seas forecast for later in the weekend.

Our approach to the game was good, but we needed to keep our turnovers down, and we had some breakdowns in that area. I thought that we got in and out of our defenses pretty well, but turnovers and missed free throws really hurt.

I was over in Orange Beach this past weekend and all people wanted to know was when was the Isle going to open. I've gotten calls at my home from Atlanta, Arkansas, Jacksonville, Fla., and Lafayette, La.

We just are not able to execute offensively right now. Our recognition is poor and that leads to us taking low percentage shots.

We are out of the toughest part of our schedule now. This has been tough on everybody, but we need to continue to work hard in practice to create an environment to improve.

I selected him because of his strong work ethic and his interest in the job. His reputation in New York was very good and he was highly thought of in this department.

Our approach to the game was good, and we did a good job of executing our offense at times, so there were some positives to take away from the game.

They (Terre Haute North) execute so well. To be able to win 14 games in the conference they play in (Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference) shows how good they are.

Their pressure sped us up more than we like in the second period. We talked about it in practice, but players have to make the right decisions on the floor.

These kids are a great bunch. It isn't always about winning. These kids worked hard all season long, and they will be successful in their lives.
