I'm elated for these guys, the way they came out and fought. Christ the King is one heck of a basketball program. They've got some great athletes out there.

All the guys, we really, really wanted that one. We fought hard for that win, but it's just one of those things that don't fall our way. Hopefully we can meet up with them later on and get another shot at them.

People can sit back and look at Kobe and emulate him all they want. But the fact is that the teams that play together and have consistency throughout their lineup in the scoring column are going to win more than lose.

We practice and drill going to the line tired. But you can't simulate going to the line at Reynolds Coliseum with a tie game and 6 seconds to go. He did something he's going to remember for the rest of his life.

I'm blessed to have a team where there is little or no separation between the starters and the bench players. That makes for good competition within our team, because our starters know if they don't perform at a certain level they will lose their jobs.

What the heck is a king? I'm a cog in the wheel.
