20 Quotes by Tom Maurer

Luke played a great all-around game. He made everybody else on the team look better.

Luke came in and got six of his eight in the first quarter, which was huge. We had a tough game that ended at 11 last night and came back to play at 11 this morning, so Babbitt needed some help. When Luke went inside and scored over their 6-6 guy, I think they were shocked.

He has been cleared to play. But I'm not sure if I want to take that chance. I couldn't live with myself if he got hurt.

He was one of the hardest-working kids I had back then. You could see that he was a great student. And great students become great teachers. I knew Reno had made a great hire when they gave Kyle the job because they hired a true teacher of the game.

It all comes down to what kids decide they want to do. Do they want to make themselves better? Do they want to work at it? I know Luke is the type of kid who always wants to get better. He's going to spend (the spring and summer) working on his game.

Tristan hit a couple shots in the first quarter, bang, bang, and then we stopped getting him the ball. We just sort of stopped getting the ball to our scorers. I just thought we didn't play a very intelligent game.

We got a nice lead early, so, I guess, that meant we could play bad in the second half.

We were playing like we were afraid to lose. I could just see it. We were afraid. But when I called that timeout with three or four minutes to go, I finally saw the will to win in their eyes. It finally showed up at the end of the game.

Eric Maupin played with a lot of heart.
