I was really happy when I heard about (the meeting). That shows they're taking ownership of the team. When it's my team, we're not as good. When it's their team, they want to make things work and we're a lot better.
I think they understand that when I come here to play ball, I'm here 100%, ... I'm going to work as hard as everybody else works. We're going to work on what's in the future, not the past.
I'm not sure relief is the right word, but satisfaction probably is. They worked hard and accomplished their goal.
Other guys are playing a little bit better than him. I think you earn your playing time in practice, and Matt Bush (who made his first start on Friday) has had a really good two weeks of practice and had a good game tonight.
We had good foul shooters going to line. Our best three foul shooters are going to the line the most.
That was the key play of the game. That sort of put it away.
Why was I not here? It was offseason, ... I could have returned his phone calls, but it was offseason.
Why was I not here? It was offseason,
Man, that's why we've got judges, we've got trials, we've got people that make decisions for what goes on in court. I'm not worried about anything.
(Friday night) Galesburg made shots, so we weren't able to get it off the rim and transition it. When we can get it off the rim and in transition, we're a much better basketball team.
For us to win we needed to (capitalize). We needed to have maximum possessions.
Catfish - I call him Catfish - is always around the ball. Yeah, that was great.
My dad's been hard on me, my coaches have been hard on me, he's just like that extra father figure. When he relates to us like he expects more, we don't look at it in a negative way and say: 'You know what? I can't do it.' At least he has the confidence in us to say, 'You can do it.' We don't look at it as negative. Sometimes you might get a little down, but you never can look at the bad side.
Like any rivalry, there will be some great games. Fans will enjoy how hard these two teams will play.
