Hal McManus Quotations

When we go to other gyms, we're there together. It's kind of a community that you bring with you.

We've got to run him out of the gym some nights because we've gotta get the laundry done.

I thought we were getting hit inside pretty hard and I was tired of our kids getting hit. As physical as we are when we're going for a shot and getting knocked (around) to the side, that's a foul -- and that's what I said, sort of.

I thought if we'd ever taken the lead, I thought that thought might start coming back into their minds that they can't win the big one. But we never took the lead, so we never saw how they'd react.

I'm so tired of saying 'box out' that I'm sick of it. I think I say 'box out' in my sleep.

We couldn't hit that little 7- or 8-foot shot for anything. We've played down here twice and have had probably our two worst shooting percentages here at the Colonial Center.

We shot-faked and I thought we got bumped a few times, but we didn't get the calls. That's how it goes.

We shot way too many (3-pointers). Even though (Michael) Holmes blocked about 10 shots, probably, we should have gotten the ball and challenged him a whole lot more -- at least pulling up for that 7-footer, but we never did that.

They rewrote every Broome history book. No one may ever throw a shot put as far as Gabe Wilkins, but they put Broome on the map.

They didn't flinch a bit. They just played their game. They knew that D.J. wasn't in there and they stepped up.

Not in any situation where he had to shoot it. He came off screens, the guy sags off of him, he feels comfortable and he shoots it.

That seemed to spark us. When he gets to going hard, he can jump over people and with his quickness he can go past people.
