Defense to me was the key. I don't remember them getting too many open shots. I said we needed to play good defense and rebound and we did that.

We have to put this behind us. We've been without him for a while now and we've moved on. We will support him as coaches and teammates.

That was just a lack of communication. That's the only way to put it.

Our goals are still the game. We want to win the SCC Quinnipiac Division, defend our conference title and win the Division I state championship. Those goals will now be harder to attain, but they are still attainable.

I support the decision made by the administration. We're still in the business of helping kids and Chauncey is fulfilling his requirements.

Because of the injury, he's been frustrated all year. He's not able to play at the level he's accustomed to.

Obviously we know they can shoot and wanted to take away the outside shot and not let Baskin get going.
