Frank Rossi Quotes (14 Quotes)

Our shot selection wasn't very good. No doubt that hurt us.

It was really a hard-fought, physical game. It was a fun game to coach. It didn't end well and the kids took it very hard, but it was a good basketball game.

I told them to be more aggressive. Westbrook's press gave us problems. But we also hurt ourselves by not being aggressive on offense. We settled for bad shots just as many times as we turned the ball over. We had a couple roll out but usually we were suffering from some bad shots.

The good news is we got 30 free throws. We hoped to do that by using our height advantage and we did. The bad news is we made only 14.

They're the best team...the best five players overall in the Shoreline. I made the comment before...I don't think there are any spectacular talents on that team but as a team they do everything very well. They set screens, they execute their offense, they defend and they make open shots.

I think we're playing better and I think we're peaking at the right time of the year.

We had no answer for Gonzalez. We switched defenses on him all night and made him work, but he had 31 points and won the game. He's the most talented scorer we've seen this year.

The fourth quarter came down to just playing basketball. The guys played together and we put the ball in the hands of the right people.

Adam was our sixth man coming into the season, but he's got a chance to play more with an injury to another player and he's done a nice job.

That quarter set the tone. This was a close game after one -- North Branford led 13-11 at the first turn -- but with the 8-0 quarter, we took control. The momentum carried into the second half.

The game wasn't as close as that score might make it seem. We had a seven, eight point lead most of the way. But Hale-Ray competes, they fight and they kept coming at us. I think that's the best four-win team in the state.

Matt did everything he could to bring us back all by himself. He's First Team All-Shoreline, there's no doubt about it.

(Westbrook) is a much-improved team from the first time we played them (a 57-26 T-Birds' win). I'm happy with the win but I'm not happy with the way we played, with a lack of aggressiveness getting the ball to the hoop. We couldn't finish them off.

We were never able to get into any kind of rhythm either offensively or defensively. I thought we particularly struggled at the guard position tonight.
