Decent Quotes

Amazing Quotes

As a coach and a teacher I learned a long time ago you've got to bring them along, and then when they're ready they'll show what they can do.

Catch Quotes
This group, to have accomplished what they've done and to catch themselves in mid-season and get those four really tough (victories) toward the end of the year, I think they made a statement that it has been a pretty good season for such a young group. That's a tough group in (that locker room).
