Providence is just a good basketball team. Our kids came and battled.

Our objective was to take our No. 1 recommendation who would be best for our kids and our community. With the history of Carlisle football, we want someone who is going to be dynamic and a community person. I think Carlisle has been looking for someone they can rally around, someone who will be charismatic with the community.

The Providence program is successful because of good coaches, a good administration, great parents and kids who are dedicated to athletics. Any new job comes with a great deal of anxiety, and there are things I am not familiar with or aware of. But I will be surrounded by great people on all fronts, and they will help lead the way.

We are honored to have Providence St. Peter Hospital as part of our growing family of hospital partners, ... They have joined dozens of hospital market leaders nationwide in reshaping the way hospitals do business. Through the provision of the most advanced personalized patient care, ACCESS is helping them achieve their vision of being the market leader in patient satisfaction, clinical quality, and operational performance.

They're great kids and I feel fortunate to have been able to coach them. Not only are they good basketball players, they're great kids and they deserve everything that they've gotten. They all had different roles on the team but no one person's role was more important than the others.

He's probably one of the fastest kids out there and he's coming into his own. He's a solid basketball player who's going to do a lot of good things for us.
