Quotes by John DePasquale

“We were able to spread out the minutes but the defensive intensity never let up.”

“We had beaten them by four the first time but that was when our defense was unpredictable and sloppy, it was actually quite good this time. Weve put together two good defensive efforts in a row, which we hadnt gotten, so were making progress. It took us a while but we finally did it.”

“When you look at the first and second King Philip games and the first and second Notre Dame games you can see significant improvement. The players have developed both individually and as a team.”

“They are a legit team. They played better, ran better and got the ball inside in the second half. We didnt make enough stops and didnt control our backboard. But we are a much more battle-tested team for the Division 3 tournament, which was the point of this tournament.”

“Right now we are in the escalation mode, and right now our budgets are absorbing that. Were still moving forward.”

You cant be pessimistic because there are so many things that go wrong every day that if you were to be negative or pessimistic youd go out of business.

The basic success orientation is having an optimistic attitude.
