73 Quotes by Brad Soderberg

I'm going to be really critical of myself when I watch tape to see how in the Lord's name did we not get him a shot at the rim somehow. What's baffling is we worked extra (in practice) on getting him the ball, and he didn't get one shot at the rim. There are days when I absolutely love what I do and days when I hate it. Right now, I hate it. We worked on making the post feed, and the more we tried, the worse it got. It was one of those nights when everything possible could go wrong.

I know that topic keeps coming up, but I'm most interested in quality basketball. We're having a hard time sustaining quality basketball, and tonight was as bad as it gets. Everything we tried didn't work. Every shot we attempted seemed a little off rhythm.

I'm really proud of both of those guys. I have asked them to do a lot more than most freshman and they have stepped up in a big way.

I'm searching a little bit for answers. I think Luke has earned the spot. I was very impressed with the way he played in the midst of a gut-wrenching game. I thought he played really hard, I thought he played steady, solid. He didn't just get that position by default. He got it because he's played well.

I have not been looking forward to Wednesday because I have to find a way to properly address the team and Anthony. Senior Night is always emotional, but I think this will be particularly emotional because I've been as close to this kid personally as any kid I've coached.

I'm very impressed with coach Baron. I've always been impressed with his concept of the game. He puts his kids in a position to win, no matter their talent or their depth. That's what they've done this year. They don't make dumb mistakes. If you beat them, you're going to have to play well.

I'm not surprised by the way these kids are. When I recruited them I knew that these were special kids. I just prayed that we could get them to commit. And how excited I am that we're going to have them for more years. The fact that they're poised when it matters ... over the course of the season those two guys have done incredible things. When you look at them as a pair, I challenge you to find a freshman combination anywhere that's doing the things they're doing.

I like the six wins, and I don't like the six losses. The good news is, we didn't really stub our toe against the teams we should beat, but the bad news is that we didn't knock off any of the (quality) opponents.

I'm concerned with Ian's turnovers. Those are hurting us a little.
