Quotes by Joe DeSantis
For the first 17 minutes, we played probably the best basketball that we've played since I've been here. They're just too good. They made a run, we couldn't stop them.
He's familiar with our league. He's one of those players, a go-to guy, who can make big shots outside, on the drive or on pull-ups.
I never mentioned any teams below us when I talked about the tournament. We could have gotten a sixth seed. That?s all we were focused on. I think we deserve to be in.
There's all kinds of research that shows this is a different generation of people coming to work for us. Companies that can demonstrate to their employees that they have genuine concern for an employee's ability to give 100 percent to the job and still have a life is very critical.
They made it difficult to run our offense. We could never really get our offense going. I need to do a better job of getting these guys to be a little more disciplined. I want them to continue to play loose, but I don?t want them to settle for the first shot.
They're tough to guard. That's why that team is a good team. They have guards who post up and big men who step out. They run a lot of good stuff.
Reality is always good. Kids want to hear it?s new. They know the floor?s going to be nice, the locker rooms are going to be nice. That helps.
Too big and too strong at every position. It becomes a case of, how do you want to play them? They made one of those phenomenal runs on us and the show was over.
