Quotes by Jeff Houston

“But our execution still needs a lot of work. We still have too many drops in our concentration level.”

“Weve tried a lot of kids in that position - sometimes playing them out of position. Weve got to find someone who can get in there, defend and grab some rebounds for us.”

“We didnt identify Dozier coming into the game and his penetration hurt us. Then, they started looking post to post against our box-and-one and thats how you beat any zone defense.”

“We played two good teams on back-to-back nights and we played well. But we came out slow again and that was the difference in the game. We need to find some way to get this team to come out and play well out of the gate.”

“I thought we were a step slow all night - thats why I did those wholesale substitutions. We had that tough game last night and our shots were short tonight, which is a direct reflection of being tired. I probably should have subbed a little more earlier in the game.”

“It felt like the world was against Robbie tonight. He wasnt getting his footwork right on his shot. Then when we told him to pump fake and set up a teammate, he traveled.”

“He was getting to the front of the rim all night on us. We saw that on the scouting report, but hes a little more athletic than what I thought.”

“I think the play from the bench tonight is a step in the right direction. Our kids are starting to understand thats an unselfish thing they can do for Galesburg basketball.”

“Hes the leader of this team - plain and simple.”

“He was completely laid out. The kid is a triple jumper, and he needed that form to go for that ball. He really gave us a spark with his energy.”
