37 Quotes by Lou Panzanaro

That was huge. We were just getting people in the right position and we had switched defenses. But I thought switching the defense was important. They were taking some deep shots and we were hitting the boards and not letting them get second shots. I thought the rebounding was big in that quarter.

That's been our trademark all year long. It's not always in the first quarter or in the first half, but usually by the fourth we've been able to turn things in our favor.

I was proud of how we played in the first half. But I am not happy about that second half. We got tentative and we got lackadaisical with the basketball, and we stopped attacking. That's been our problem. When we're struggling offensively, it's because we're not passing the ball well.

Most of them were role players. When this team is firing on all cylinders, I don't know if you can identify who the five starters are. They play so unselfishly. They all play together.

We'd play games and I'd have a couple of college coaches come up and ask about players and nobody would ask about Derek. Once I found out why, I went to Derek and told him not to get upset but the college coaches thought he was playing soft. He just gave me a bewildered look, but he realized he had to change.

We won the state title despite playing a mediocre game. We knew we had to bring a different brand of basketball if we wanted to have any hope of winning the Federation.

We stay with the same concepts and try to execute it better. Adding stuff over the years has just created more tentativeness. The season is so short that I've never tried to do much with our offenses.

We put two things on the board before the game run and rebound. Those two things go together, and we challenged them.

This year can not be compared to any other. I'll never forget this courageous, dysfunctional and record-setting team.
