Billy Lange Quotes (20 Quotes)

We lost to a great team having a great year. Lehigh is a club that follows its coach's game plan and looks to execute. I think they're tremendous, good enough to win the league.

I feel a lot better walking out of this game than I did Washington College. I just thought we played a better brand of basketball.

There were a lot of things we can learn from today. It was one of the cleaner games for both these teams in a long time. Obviously, I'm very disappointed we lost but just to have everyone back healthy is a good feeling.

It feels better to see our kids playing with passion. I'm really proud of these guys. They responded to the challenge tonight.

This was not the brand of basketball we want to play. We did not have enough possessions running off defensive rebounds. I also was not pleased with our communication tonight. We still don't understand the power of togetherness.

All in all I thought it was a good effort by our team. We are looking forward to getting another chance of playing them next week.

Greg is allowed to do that when he plays defense. I've been on his butt to defend. I thought he played unbelievable D tonight.

That game was decided long before it began. We came out with a very offensive-minded attitude instead of the other way around.

We're a young, inexperienced team and program. One of the things you have to guard against when things start going well is thinking offense first. We got up 10-2 and apparently thought it was going to be easy. We completely forgot what's gotten us here, and that's our defense.

This is a tough loss for our program, but not an embarrassing loss. Our kids can hold their heads high. We head into the playoffs feeling we are playing better than a week ago.

It's a little embarrassing when you decide in the beginning of the year that you want to be one of the best 3-point field goal defensive teams in the league. Their guards were savvy and they really showed their senior leadership today. We need to get a little better defensively. We know what our issues are. I don't want to say defending the three has been our problem more than just poor communication.

I'm very fired up about Greg beginning to get it. When Greg plays with confidence, he is a very good basketball player.

I thought this was our most complete game of the season, by far. I like where we're headed. I'm happy our guys are seeing how we have to win. We played great defense and did a good job of sharing the basketball.

I don't care about points or stats or anything like that. All I care about is seeing our team play with great passion on defense. You can't be a good basketball program unless you truly believe that defense wins championships. We're getting there.

I thought we handled their run tremendously. That is the biggest difference in this team from last year.

I thought Greg did a very good job of taking the ball and showing leadership.

Courage is the best word to use when talking about Matt. The kid's dedication to Navy basketball has been inspiring to me as a coach. Matt has set a standard for the younger players to meet.

They are tough. They do things that championship teams have to do. They defend, they are tough and they share the ball. We have a long way to go. We are trying to rebuild a basketball program and it's going to take some time, but there is no doubt in my mind that we are eventually going to be a good basketball program again.

I like coming off the bench now. It gives me an opportunity to see how the game's progressing and what my team needs of me on the court whether it be scoring or getting rebounds.

It's just an attitude a team develops. You can't hide a bad defender. Everybody on the floor has to do their part.
