Kermit Carolina Quotations

We?re glad they?re there because they really help us. They throw fuel in the fire for us.

Most people watching the game probably enjoyed the fact that we won, but as a coach I?m going to be very critical. I?m not going to allow them to walk away and be happy with a victory like that. It?s about how they play the game. Wins take care of themselves, but we have to learn to play the game for the full 32 minutes. We can?t get caught up in one-on-one basketball.

Never in my wildest imagination would I have figured this, but we played every game to this intensity level.

We took it one game at a time, one possession at a time, one minute at a time. I compare it to chopping down a tree. You work at it and work at it and, eventually, it falls.

We had a lot of good looks in transition. We have a lot of outstanding shooters. We always talk about ball movement and sharing the ball.

We wanted to impose our will on them early. We thought the first five minutes of the game were the most important. We had good ball movement, we shared the ball and we got a lot of good looks.

We wanted to impose our will in the first five minutes. There was a special feeling in the air. I'm just so proud of these guys.

We are ready for the next game, the next quarter against Career (on Wednesday). That?s all we can control.

We expected them to make some runs in this game. It had all the aura of a championship fight tonight. But we still have another game to go.

In a game like this, I don?t think I have to say too much. The bragging rights exist for years to come. I know people now who still argue about these games that took place 20 years ago, who won and who lost and who had a great game. The kids do understand that much.

He's a player. He has the heart of a lion. He controlled the tempo and ran the offense when we needed to do that. And when he is shooting well, he has no conscience. He lets it fly.
