I don't know how to explain it. He is just an unbelievable freaky athlete. He's capable of doing that every night; he really is.
He's an outstanding coach and person. Class sums it up in one word.
Some college coach is going to grab this kid and turn him into a beast.
He just loves to compete. He goes as hard as anybody in practice. He just brings it every night. He's a dream reserve. Everyone wants a kid like Joe Muldoon on their team.
He is one of the best coaches in the state of Iowa. If I am going to pattern my success after someone, I want it to be him.
Bottom line, it was just flat-out effort. They wanted to send a message and they did that.
In this league you can't factor in a home-court advantage. It's probably pretty equal on both ends.
Nine times of not getting it done and to finally get it done in this way, is awesome.
We drilled him on Freeman. We got confused a few times with where the (second defender) was supposed to be, but when we made adjustments they had a hard time scoring.
The bottom line is that I encouraged him to stay. He told me 'You're ready, it's your time.' I've been appreciative ever since.
