It's an honor to play in this game. All of the guys really got along well and it was a lot of fun.

We've been at the bottom of the league since I've been there. So for us to be a contender this year was a lot of fun. It was our first winning season in five years. And it was great to beat Hyde [Leadership of New Haven] twice. Of course, they beat us in the league playoffs, but we still had two wins.

It's fun and always an honor for them to come watch me play. Maybe one day, I'll be playing with them.

Being named head coach is an honor, and it's something that I've looked forward to. Honestly, I can't wait to get started. I was lucky enough to be coaching under Bill, and so I have a good grasp of the program, school and community.

[Working with Scorsese] was like the honor of my life, ... I'm so busy on stuff that I so believe in that it is hard to stop and smell the roses. But I love to work, I really love to work, so I'm digging it.

It's important obviously because it's in honor of someone we cared greatly about. But not too many people can say they died for doing what they loved - basically helping people. I hope others can find that same passion.
