Jerry Carrillo Quotations

Maybe, but if I could have anybody on the line in that situation, it would be him. On the second free-throw, he didn't hold it and stay on the follow-through.

Fort Lewis didn't think he was good enough out of high school. Now they can't get him.

Jude ran into a screen and couldn't get through it. That really hurt They had confidence in overtime and we couldn't make shots.

Our goal was to clinch tonight and these guys were able to do that. I thought we played really well tonight. Our energy level was superior. We took them out of their offense.

I thought he was active. He just needed to develop a little more physically.

I'm hoping to turn the television on next March and watch him play in the NCAA tournament. Unless something happens he'll be in a division one uniform playing somewhere next year.

We don't have air conditioning, and we don't have a heater we have a boiler. We have no way of turning the air on it's all base on the outside temperature It's been steamy in there and at times gotten into the low 90s. Our own people tell me I like it hot in there, but we don't have the heat on.

We fought back. Andre Smith made some big shots. Jude (Roybal) had a great floor plan.

We beat them 93-66 here in November, but they're a better team now. They've caught up to us now.

We've had a great year. These guys have won 27-games and we were literally a couple of bounces away from going 30-0. ... We led the league from start to finish.

We've got a good group coming back. But we can't miss on a (couple) of recruits.

This was the easiest team to coach because these guys were the most focused group. We had no off-court issues and no problems of any kind in terms of trying to motivate.

They have a very athletic post. But I like to think we match up well with them. We should enter the game with good confidence. The challenge is on and we need to go get it.

You don't want to get swept by anybody in conference. We were able to hit our free throws down the stretch.

It's a credit to the guys and the job they did all year being so consistent. Our coaching staff, we assembled a good group of players that have bought in to what we're trying to do.

It'll add to the home court advantage. We just want to have the biggest advantage possible because our guys worked all season for this.

I'm so proud to have coached these guys. The emotions they're going through right now, I don't think anyone could understand unless you've been part of it.

I hope not. We've played them two times since then.

He's probably the best leader I've ever coached. If anyone deserves the Coach of the Year award, he does.

The guys had sensational energy. We defended very well.
