Steve Mohr Quotations

Jeremiah is a warrior. He battled to the end.

I think putting four kids in double figures tonight really shows were growing as a basketball team and that's an encouraging sign.

We got off to a good start, but we had a few unforced turnovers and let Lucas get back into the game.

We can't use that excuse. After 18 games, you've got to take a little bit of ownership of what's going on on the floor. We know we're going to see intense pressure on the perimeter and we haven't been able to handle that.

We keep telling the kids that this is a 32-minute game. We've been putting 16 minutes together, you know, we play well for a half. We just let the game get away in the second half.

When you are shooting the ball from three feet, you ought to shoot it well. They were able to pass the ball into the post at will.

We missed a lot of easy shots early that might have kept us in it longer. But it was their defensive pressure, they just took us out of everything we wanted to do.

The Stover kid was just dominant tonight. He dominated us tonight, especially in the second half. We couldn't keep the ball out of the post.

Adam has been a more consistent player off the bench for us than he was when he was starting. He played very well tonight.

Coach Martin had an excellent game-plan. His players were getting double-teams and traps. We didn't handle it very well. Despite that, we're (only) down seven at the half.

Austin really came up big for us tonight. He made some very big buckets for a rookie.

It just depends a lot on how much practice they're getting at home and how much studying they're doing for the classroom.

They (Bulldogs) were a very hungry basketball team tonight. Especially in the second half.

Their defensive pressure on the perimeter just took us out of anything we could on the offensive end. They got off to a great start and we never answered.

Their two seniors, they came up big. When they go for 31 points, that took us out of the second half.

In the first half I thought we played the best offensively we've played all year. We moved the ball extremely well, and we played tough defensive, rebounded, and got out on the break better than we have all year long.

In the end it was our horrible start that did us in, which is the opposite of what we usually do (come out strong and fade as the game goes on). Our big thing is that we don't play consistent basketball but tonight I thought we did except for the first quarter and the last two minutes of the third.

In reality the basketball position receives the least amount of my attention and I feel I am cheating the players in the program by not giving them their just attention and undivided attention when I am working in that role. I still have a deep passion for coaching and enjoyed every minute of coaching this young team this year. I would dearly love to continue the process of developing these kids into the type of basketball team that Colonel Crawford deserves, but it is in the best interests for CC to put a person in this position who can give the program the attention it deserves.

In the second half we tried to run but we couldn't hang on to the ball. We need consistency and tonight we didn't have that. We had a chance to blow the game wide open in the third quarter.

By delaying deer, I think we're restricting ourselves and how many people are going to participate.

Their best offense was their defense in the first half. They were very, very good defensively, the best I've seen them and I've scouted them a couple of times in the last two weeks.
