Mike Flaherty Quotations

We didn't want them to set their defense. We thought we'd get a little bit better shot in transition. Unfortunately, two weeks in a row, we forget that we have the best shooter in the south suburbs (Rush) and we don't set a screen for him.

We're holding teams to less than 40 points, on average, during the last eight games.

There are moments where we play really nice. We're finding ways to work together.

It was a great opportunity to coach in one of the legendary basketball programs in the state. Through all of this (rumors and speculation) they were incredibly gracious to me about my situation, while I was seeing what was available.

I was real happy with the fact we were ready to play at the beginning of the game. Sometimes kids can come out lackadaisical when you're playing a team that's not doing very well.

Billy's been struggling lately. He played all right in the second half, but he's a much more consistent shooter than what he showed tonight.

That was part of the aspect to forming this group. These guys who played when they were growing up don't have to give it up.

Historically, we've been terrible on Saturday after big Friday night games. We did just enough to get the 'W.' It wasn't pretty.

I didn't see much of an inside game out there tonight. Most of what I saw was from the outside from both teams, but that's what we wanted to do.

We didn't do a good job of getting Rush open on that final play. We forgot we have the best shooter in the south suburbs and we didn't set a screen for him. We didn't do very many good things at the end.
