Beginning Quotes
I felt good at halftime because we played probably our worst half of the year and were still up five. Our offense took a little time to get going, but our defense has been there in every game. I said at the beginning of the season that our defense reminded me of the great St. Anthony teams, so I have confidence in our defense.

Basketball Quotes
My son and Marty's son (assistant coach Marty Luc) come to every practice. My son Tommy is 9 and Marty's son L.J. is 7. They can't come on the court until their homework is done. Sometimes, when we have a late practice I'll walk into my office and our players will be helping them with their homework. When we went on a trip to Pennsylvania over the holidays, our players would play with the kids in the pool or take them to the mall. Most high school kids don't want to deal with that, but this group is special. My son's favorite basketball player of all time is Desmond Wade.

Both Quotes
Offensively, we were living and dieing with the jump shot. We were trying to figure out a way to get our big men more involved and it kind of evolved naturally in the second Plainfield game when Charles (Miller) was working real hard. Mohammad Wilkerson (6-6 junior) followed Charles' lead and those two have become forces in the paint on both ends of the floor ever since to give us a new look.
