We missed a lot of assignments and rotations. It's a complex press.

We played a better second half but games like this, against talented opponents like we've played so far, really give us a good gauge as far as how far we have to go to get better.

We've got to get a lot better. We're putting a brand new system in and we're able to get it done on hard work. But North Branford was clearly the better team in every aspect of the game. They are a top program. They are good year in and year out and we're not yet. That's what we're trying to be.

He wasn't taught much fundamentals from a perimeter standpoint. When you are standing in front of the press, you have to be defensively sound and guard the quicker guy on the floor. That was asking too much from a first-year player.

I've always said there's a place for the press but they haven't dug it yet.

Things are going a lot better than the press has been reporting on virtually all fronts. We're going to be there for a while. It is dangerous, it is dirty, it is hot, it is not pleasant, but it is moving forward and the strategic doubt does not exist.
