Alan Knipe Quotations

Everything goes through Tyler. Tyler brings almost a coach-like mentality to the court. He's just a great competitor. He loves being in the heat of the battle more than any other player I've coached.

We have a lot of options with him.

We lost those games early, not late. I was proud of the way the guys played, even with the ones they hit out. But if we don't go down 5-1 (in Game 4), we're still playing right now. That's a lot better feeling than (Thursday) night, when we were out of here in about 90 minutes.

He jumps really high, and he's tough to block.

I thought Game 1, both teams were neck-and-neck, and then they got a nice run, and from that point on, they had us out of our system. We had a tough time stopping them. They did a nice job siding out. We tried to put some pressure on them with our serving. I thought they passed the ball really well tonight. When we had balls we could block or plays we could make, we didn't turn them.
