Mike Kohs Quotations

He?s a big difference, we?re a much better team with him. He?s a tremendous athlete with a huge heart. However big the game is, he seems to rise to the occasion. He gets loose balls, he gets steals you don?t think he?s gonna get that he comes up with. When he plays the way he did tonight, we?re a very good team.

I thought we played well defensively, especially in the second half. They got a lot of open shots in the first half, but I don't think they had very many of those in the second.

Our league is always strong and always competitive. The competition we play in our league is outstanding, and it makes teams better good competition is always good for everything.

The ankle is not doing any better. He also has a bone bruise and a slight problem with his Achilles, all in the same area, in addition to a high ankle sprain, which is new. Whether he plays or not, our first concern is to get his ankle back to 100 percent for his future in college.

We were right there, ready to take an eight-point lead, and that shot got them back in the game. I thought it settled them down.

Even the kids that came off the bench, Nick Greenwood did a heck of a job in the second quarter. Shawn Holley gave us tremendous minutes off the bench.

It was a lack of communication on his part. He?s been clearly frustrated with his injury.

No question the dunk was the big play of the game. To go from two up to eight up at the end of the third was a big boost.

After what we did the other night, we had (Hillhouse) right where we wanted them. From three it?s back to seven in a heartbeat, it seemed like. Then we are back chasing. They have tremendous team speed. Not for a lack of effort on our part, but they seemed to come up with that loose ball all the time.

The way we played, we were fortunate to be down by only three.
