Reno Pinkston Quotations

We knew they would come at us aggressively in their full-court press if they got behind. We expected it from the beginning. We said, if we can hold fort at that time, we'd be all right. We didn't do a very good job of it, but what I was proud of my kids of doing, after I called a time out and challenged them a little bit ... they became more aggressive and less hesitant.

We never call on one guy to take over. We don't have the ability to do that. But we do have five or six guys in our rotation that are willing to come in and be aggressive at any time.

It's the first time I've seen somebody use their rotation to the point where I thought our guys did get a little fatigued. We have a six-man rotation, but not only did QND pressure so aggressively on the defensive end, they were attacking on the offensive end and it made us burn a lot of calories on help and recovery and rushing to the driving man.

I don't see any reason to (change) when you average as many wins as we have. It seems silly to change a philosophy that was successful.
