You certainly can't blame our guys for getting caught up in the competitiveness of it. I was disappointed with the way they handled it though.

I got caught up with the referees. I'll take the blame on that.

I'm in shock. I'm in awe. These guys I've been honored to coach have kept surprising me and surprising me and surprising me. This is the greatest turnaround in Cal State Fullerton history.

A lot of that was my fault. I got too caught up in the referees. I'll take the blame on that. I didn't put him down there. It's my fault.

All the guys in our rooms, although they're disappointed, can certainly hold their heads high and know that we've given it our best shot.

I'm disappointed for him that he has made such a clumsy start. He's inexperienced and got caught out. I'd like to see him do well and if he's as good as he says he is -- and I'm expecting genius -- he should make it. But the signs are not good so far.
