Re: Media Thread
From today's call. In bold is my favorite quote so far this season:
On last weeks games (TU/GMU): "We haven't been playing too badly... We've played as good defensively as we've played all year... Chris Fouch has been on fire for us... Put together complete games."
On the turnaround in the Mason game: "We didnt guard them early... then we forced them to take some shots late in the shot clock and got some easy buckets the other way."
On Chris Fouch coming off the bench: "He's just better for us. He just got that way too. We didn't start winning because he's playing well. We have a good rotation... Gerald and Derrick have done a good job."
On comparing him to Goss: "Fair comparison... Very similar in that they get [the shot] when coming off of screens... I don't know if Phil could dunk."
On [freshman] Kevin Phillip: "I've always felt he's got ability... the thing with him is the mind is a terrible thing to waste... Attitude has been a big difference with him... His focus is better, his attitude is a whole lot better. I think he has the ability to be a good player in our league... His ceiling is really high and I think he has a lot more improving to do, but he's shown glimces that when he puts it together he can be pretty good."
Q: Is the offense any different then shots dropping? "No. We're running the same plays. The big difference has been chris. He takes a lot of pressure off of Jamie. Also Samme, they are doubling him now. Now Jamie doesn't need to get every shot every time down. I think [jamie] wants to play more of a pg position. He's still scoring his points, but he likes to distribute and run the team more better then he likes to score all the time... It's given confidence to the other guys. Gerals has been better... DT isnt shooting better, but he has a better feel for what he's doing out there."
On the HU game: "It's always tough. All the NY guys going up against each other... It goes back to the America East days. When I got here everyone told me Hofstra was the game. That was from the players my first year here."
From Pat Kennedy: "Drexel is playing as well as anyone in the league. I tip my hat to them. Leon Spencer came back but he's coming off the bench. Their guards are playing as well as any set of guards in our league... We showed a tremendous inability to come back."
From Coach L: "I thought we got off to a great start. Then Drexel started to play very well, defending, rebounding, shooting the ball... We made a good run at them..."
From Pecora: "They took it to us down there. I think Drexel is out-toughing people. They are finding ways to win basketball games based on grit...shot selection... the right people doing the right things."
I'll be honest. I think if you give Bru that Pecora quote and some time to himself he would have more fun then he would with a playboy and some time to himself. I mean everying TP mentioned is exactly what Bru screams for all season long.
