Quotes by John Swickrath

“I think we are on the right track right now. We are a competitive ball club. I think we can salvage our season and I think as long as we play well enough to get into the (ODAC) tournament there isnt a team that scares me.”

“I cant coach, but its ok, its my players fault, theyre just not producing. I cant get on the court for them, they have to get it done, theres nothing that I can do for them. Coaching is done in practice. Plays just dont matter when it comes to game time if your players cannot complete them and I can ot draw them up. Why should a team trust in me when I cannot coach?”

“These Liberty girls, they dont have sex, but you can always play in the mud!!”

“Weve got 4,000 feet and 1.5 miles to climb to the top. Everybody try to stay together.”

“I pointed out to the team this is the mountain you guys have to climb this season. Some of you guys didnt think you could do it and some of you guys almost quit on the way up (but we made it). It is tough but this is how our season is.”

“I wanted to see what kind of attitudes they had. They knew they were going to sweat and they were going to be tired. It wasnt easy but it wasnt that hard ... If you want to see the view we saw at the top of the mountain, then this is the mountain we have to climb this season and I saw the reaction I wanted to see. Other than the guys that were sore from the night before, they were pretty gung-ho about it.”
