We have never received this magnitude of funding for physical education or for athletics overall. It was a sacrifice, but it was a sacrifice in my opinion that worked very well because of all the things we gained by calling this wildcat strike.
We were in control of the game from the beginning. All our players got a chance to play and showcase their talent.
I think my guys were embarrassed about losing at the tournament on St. Croix. They really came out to play. They came out with a lot of intensity and really wanted to win.
They are hard to measure right now. We need to be more consistent, to control the ball, to box out. We need to develop a total team concept on offense and defense.
I tried to give everybody a chance to play. It was nice to be able to evaluate all my players.
I don't really have a problem going back without a conclusion to the stipend issue. My concern really was the overall program. I wanted to make things better for the coaching fraternity.
We are pretty happy about winning a championship. It's always good when you win a championship. It means that you have represented your school well and gives the school something that you can positively identify with.
Those other games he wasn't getting the ball enough. Tonight we went to him a lot and it made a big difference. He's starting to get a little more confident. He feels like it's a positive that the team wants him to be involved down low.
This was just a very, very competitive game. I don't think either team was willing to lose.
