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.

In practice, we try to simulate that stuff, but until you get out there against other guys, you try to make it work. It did tonight.

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.

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.

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.

It's difficult for us to simulate their passing game in practice. Defensively, we have a lot of kids back from last year. The issue is going to be how we match up with them.
