Harry Perretta Quotations

We play a little bit of a different style than most teams. If we can get things together at the end, I think we can do pretty well.

When you play well everything goes your way. When she shot the ball I said to (assistant coach) Joe (Mullaney) that it was going to go in. You can say it was a little luck, but when you play well, things go your way. They created that.

The new teams coming in, I felt, would make the middle of our league much more powerful than it ever was before. And I think that's been proven this year. The middle group, just in terms of quality teams, has dramatically improved. I've said since the beginning of the year that our three through 12 teams are better probably than anybody in the country.

We feel a lot better after winning yesterday. The win at Notre Dame gave us breathing room. The last two games we have put together our best basketball. At Notre Dame, we played very well for 30 of 45 minutes. Yesterday, we played well for 36 out of 40 minutes.

They don't have a lot of size, but they are quick. With their quickness, they are going to be able to beat a lot of teams and move up in the conference.

I feel like I coached about 50 games too many.

You came out hard and then you stopped playing after seven minutes. You?re taught to tell the truth here.

I looked up at the scoreboard and we had 81 points and we were never in the game.

I don?t remember the last time that happened. I looked up at the scoreboard and we had 81 points and were never in the game. That is a tribute to how well they played.

I've been coaching 28 years, and with this team I never know what's going to happen. When we were up 21, I was sweating. Notre Dame is like us, inconsistent offensively. Teams get into offensive funks.
