Jon Carroll Quotations

We knew Jon could be more assertive. He brings a lot of energy to the floor, and tonight there was an opportunity for him to provide leadership. He did that.

Our game plan was to go back to the triangle-and-two that we used when we beat them last time and obviously not having him on the floor threw a monkey wrench into that. We didn't get the job done on defense tonight.

I think the thing to remember, though, the next time you hear someone who is really certain that he is on the side of the angels, is that the idea of angels was created by human beings, who are famous for being frequently untrustworthy and occasional.

In general, I tend to favor teachers over school boards in conflicts.

Holy Cross was very physical defensively and played a very tough man-to-man. Their intensity in the man-to-man threw us for a loop. It took us three quarters to get adjusted.
