Joe Densberger Good Quotations

I went to bed last night thinking we were going to pitch Wilson (Barr). Then, I thought, ?Let's give Tyler a shot and see what he can do.' Plus, we've got games on Monday and Tuesday. The first inning you could tell that Tyler had a few nerves. Then, he settled down. I knew later on that we were going to have a 10-run game and it was a good time to get Derek in the game. He looks like he's got stuff that will work.

I think these games will really help us. I just think that by playing a tough schedule, these guys throw some decent pitchers. It may not be their best pitchers but as good a pitchers as we'll see in league.

That was a game I really thought we should have won. We had some good stretches. We just didn't finish. (In the fourth quarter) they made more free throws than we had points.

Coaches are never satisfied. The overall grade of the game was an 'A,' but finishing at the basket was a 'C-plus' and our rebounding was about a 'C-plus/B-minus,' but in the overall context we played a really good game.

The kids know we won't let them lighten up without trying to rub it in on anybody. We still want to play hard. The whole time you're on the field you want to play hard and play fair. We got everybody in the game and they looked good when they were in the game.

That might be the best JV basketball team I've coached against. Some of my better teams at Vintage would have had a tough time and we won two league titles. They (Menlo) did a lot of good things. They always had an answer for everything we tried to do. We didn't shoot the ball too well but that was part of their defense.

They do a lot of good things. They're quick, they're big and they can shoot the ball really well. Our big key is how we shoot the ball.
