I'm just going with the flow now. I'd seen tape of the previous game and knew how high the score was. It's just a matter of me getting a better feel each and every game with my own teammates and my own sets here.

I wasn't surprised, really. I obviously wasn't at my best. I don't want to make excuses. I can't say I was tired. It just wasn't there for me. I will take the blame for what happened. I didn't get the bounces and I probably made some of the saves harder than they needed to be.

I actually liked the fact we broke the seal on Huet. Then he let in the soft one in the third, so I thought it was our night.

Although we ask women to come along with their husbands during the antenatal clinics as a way of getting the support of the husband, it is not mandatory.

They're good. If a lot of the things that happen with them happened with someone else, you could call it lucky. But you can't call it lucky for them, because it happens all the time. They're just pretty good. We actually did a fairly good job of going up against them. But they still got to us in the end. We were right in that game. It was pretty much even. They just got the bounce toward the end. Or made a great play. A little bit of both.

This is a great situation. To come right in and play heavy minutes, and now we're trying to make this push in the playoffs, it's the best situation to be in. Basketball is definitely fun again.

There are so many parallels through our high school careers. It's almost scary how things have gone. For this to happen, I don't think you could have gotten a pen and scripted it any other way. We're just so thankful to have this opportunity.

I feel good about it. I actually feel like I could've played better today, not necessarily on the goals but I was giving up a few rebounds that I don't normally give up.

That's done. I don't respect what he did still, but it's done. We've got the same agent. He knows how to get in contact with me. If I wanted something done to him, I'm from Jersey, it's nothing but a phone call. I wish I was on (a) team at the time that somebody would have taken somebody else out like that. What can I say

I was very fortunate to coach with Chick Campbell. He gave me a lot of responsibilities there, so now being the head guy at North is not a total shock. It made it easier on my part. I am lucky to have a good staff with me. They're willing to put a lot of work in (to start to) build this program.

He was off balance when he went up and I blocked his shot. And he kind of just rolled on it. Right now, I'm just trying to determine how bad it is and take it day-by-day. It's more of my Achilles, it's not like a sprained ankle, it's in the back on my heel and Achilles. It's just extremely sore.

That is what you work for. The whole Chicago situation was what it was -- pretty much nothing. I spent that time wisely working out and constantly shooting and getting prepared for this situation right here.

New Jersey is still an option. I'm not sitting here saying that at the end of the year if they offered me a deal I would turn it down, or not think about it. But right now, my main interest is helping this team the best way I can, to win basketball games.

The game is not at our normal pace. It's just one of those things we can't allow to happen. We pride ourselves on running.
