Dan Dakich Good Quotations

This time, we were able to hang on to a lead as we went down the stretch. That was a good win for us.

The more Indiana ties you can get, the better. You've got to recruit Indiana and there's enough good young kids in the state that you've got to recruit it hard.

After the first five minutes, I thought we locked in pretty good and played some pretty good defense.

Toledo was good, very good. I thought our kids competed, but we made too many mistakes. That's what Toledo has been doing to people in this building. Sometimes you just have to give the other team credit. Toledo has been very good defensively of late.

That's a very good team. They're as good as anyone around. They got more shots, got on the glass, and were just better.

The only thing that doesn't concern me is our effort. We're going to have bad nights, we're going to have good nights and everything in between. But if a consistent effort is there, we're going to eventually get it to where we're going to be a difficult team to play against. But we're not there yet.

I'm incredibly passionate about every guy here being very good and being better. I've had a number of parents tell me, you've made my son better than I ever thought he could be.

I thought actually we were playing pretty good defense but they were drilling shots. At the end of the day, that was a big deal.

I think you'll see a team that rebounds hard, plays defense hard and that's why he has been a really good coach. I think he's a great fit.

The thing I like about Martin's play was his defense. I thought with his four steals and his very good defense, particularly in that stretch where we went on that late run, was very important. Martin is a pleasing guy and he wants to please everybody. He had people here and he's from here and my guess is he pleased them all.
