We probably average 10 turnovers a game. We had 24. Jeremy (Lin) had nine. He's never had nine turnovers before.
To beat a team like that twice in a week is one tough task.
We'd like to play against their very best. Just because we're not doesn't mean we won't play our hardest. (Richmond) is still a formidable team.
We would have preferred to have won easily. We did what we had to do to get the job done.
We just said lets make it 10 points at halftime. We have a lot of confidence in our defense; you're hoping they're not going to stay that hot.
They all helped out on (Gordon). From top to bottom, this was truly a team effort.
Our defense got us some transition baskets. That's what really got us energized, and got us going. We were kind of tentative in the first half.
That's what you call a grind. They just found a way to get it done.
It's a special group. These guys make plays and hit shots, and that's who they are.
It was the desire. The complete desire. That's what it was. Getting after it.
It's a work in progress. I thought it was a step in the right direction.
It's a great honor. We've been doing similar things over the last nine years, especially defensively. This was the first team to make all the baskets when the game mattered most.
That has to be the absolute pinnacle. Spotting a team a 14-point lead and then holding them to six, five and 12 points the remaining three quarters. The numbers say it all.
They were very intent on not letting Jeremy do it. They guy guarding Brad left him to go help and left him (Lehman) open.
At this point, with these guys, my job is pretty darned easy.
In the first half, we were worrying about what they were doing defensively. In the second half, I told the guys we don't care what defense they're using. Just go play.
It has been quite a ride. I guess I coach better with sleep deprivation.
He's not a big scorer, but he'll always do what we need to prevail.
The two toughest things in high school basketball are handling backcourt pressure and getting the offense started. If you don't have a good point guard, you're going to have trouble with both.
