Mark Schmidt Guys Quotations

There are a lot of big guys in this league, and Bas will help us. We need someone who can come in and compete against these guys.

It is a little harder now, because every coach knows about players, and there aren't many gems who get overlooked. But this game was a perfect opportunity to see what other players could do. It is nice to see these guys get rewarded with playing time.

Our guys were really gutsy. Somehow, some way, they found a way to win.

We need people who can defend the other big guys in the league, and he'll benefit us. You can't teach height. We'll need patience, but he can be a difference-maker. He's going to have a chance to be a very good player.

The kids found a way to win. That shows our guys are confident.
