Pat Brennan Quotations

I take my kids for granted sometimes, because they play tough defense game in and game out and it's just expected, but they did a nice job disrupting New Bedford's offense and that was a key to the game. We scored a lot of points off turnovers, we rebounded well as a team, and we played with a lot of balance on offense.

I think we all realized that none of us were good enough to go pro. So the best way to stay in sports was through coaching.

Our kids are devastated. They played with their hearts and soul and I'm so proud of them. It would have been so easy to give up when we were down 14 (49-35), but they didn't.

We can't get down two goals in two minutes and expect to come back.

We were up five in overtime almost too early. There was so much time left for stuff to happen. Fate down the end didn't go our way in terms of fouls and foul shots. I thought we shot OK from the line (9-for-20), but you can't win championships shooting OK from the line. You've got to do better than OK.

We have all been competing since we were 5 years old. He was the one taking us everywhere and he coached us. I remember playing one-on-one basketball all the time with him growing up.

We did a good job defensively. In the first half, we were reaching. In the second half, we stopped that stuff and got a little bit better.

Bishops and cardinals have to listen more to the people,

You see a lot of things with three people and I think that helps the teams that are more fundamentally sound for the most part. But I don't really think it makes a lot of difference in high school girls or boys (games).
