Rob Detzel Quotations

Hopefully, this was a wake-up call for us. I told their coach they deserved to win this game. I think we were looking past them.

I thought we played really well. ... Tonight was the first night we started to play up to our potential, and it felt good.

When you get to the regional tournament any win is big. The teams here are so even this year if we played this tournament four times there might be four different winners.

We've been bringing him in to give us some help with rebounding. He hit some shots in the last couple games, but I'd be lying if I said his offense (Monday) didn't surprise me.

When you play against (Highlands) you've got to take care of the ball and you've got to shoot it. We didn't have too many turnovers, but we didn't shoot well at all, and they had a lot to do with that.

We're doing a feasibility study on upgrading the facilities. It excites me.

Five out of our top six (players) are football players. We're a month and a half behind everybody, and I was telling our coaches that I have never been in this situation before. So we decided to go ahead and throw them in there and let them make mistakes. ... We can't go back to Day 1; we can't catch up that way.

I've said all year long he's the best big man in the region. He still misses some chippies (short shots), but he's still the best big man.

After Wight went out with his fourth foul (in the third quarter) we got four or five steals in a row. I really thought that changed the complexion of the game.

They said I could be both (coach and athletic director), but I didn't think I could give 100 percent to each job. And the timing seemed to be right. I was feeling a little tired and I was ready for a break.

They're just too good. ... It was like running into a bus.

It's tournament time. The only thing that matters is finding a way to win and advancing, and we were able to do that.

That's a big confidence boost to get advice from someone like that.
