They do a lot of good things. They're quick, they're big and they can shoot the ball really well. Our big key is how we shoot the ball.

We got a little bit of rain when we got to Dixon, so it wasn't too bad.

That was a game I really thought we should have won. We had some good stretches. We just didn't finish. (In the fourth quarter) they made more free throws than we had points.

We didn't know a lot about them. We saw them earlier in the year. They pressed a lot. We came out thinking they were going to press. They came out and played a 1-2-2 (zone). Chris knocked down that 3-pointer early. That set the tone for us. I think we got some easy looks out of our zone offense. That got them out of their zone defense late in the first quarter. Then, our man offense worked really good.

That might be the best JV basketball team I've coached against. Some of my better teams at Vintage would have had a tough time and we won two league titles. They (Menlo) did a lot of good things. They always had an answer for everything we tried to do. We didn't shoot the ball too well but that was part of their defense.

Coaches are never satisfied. The overall grade of the game was an 'A,' but finishing at the basket was a 'C-plus' and our rebounding was about a 'C-plus/B-minus,' but in the overall context we played a really good game.
game good
I was as proud of these guys as I was any team I've coached. We got down early and they battled back.

You're not going to beat anyone shooting the ball like that or rebounding like that.

We went into the game with that attitude (Monday) at practice. I told them there were two things we can accomplish. For one, get back to.500 -- it sounds better -- and knock a team out of first place.

I'm hoping that last year's success helps us and that the kids enjoy the coaching with the staff we have.
