Dave Mislan Quotations

He's a talented kid. You can only do so much. He shot the ball high and has a high release. You can only take so much away. The offense goes through him. He is a prime-time player. They needed him when he was there.

Everywhere you turn, you have Division I players. You add up the rest of the classifications and you can't get five. I wouldn't trade Josh for any one of them.

The bottom line is, that's what good players do. The ones who you end up knowing their name, they make plays when the game is on the line. There's no doubt with Josh. Not only does he want the ball, but he steps up and makes something happen.

You see the size difference in the teams. For the better part of two days in practice, we focused trying to limit them to one shot - trying to keep the ball off the blocks because they're powerful and have so much talent. We fronted the post and boxed out. We were chasing down rebounds.

That's no way to lose that game. It's tough. They made big shots at big times. I give them credit.
