As you can see, it's starting to rub off on other players. The whole defense is starting to play with some enthusiasm. We'll come to the line, talk a little smack.

(In the fourth quarter), we put some people in who wanted to play. We got back to playing defense and moving the ball and going down low ... We have to do stuff like that. We have to play people that are going to produce.

The first year is the hardest. Everyone is learning the defense. The goal is to get them to play fast.

The thing I like about Martin's play was his defense. I thought with his four steals and his very good defense, particularly in that stretch where we went on that late run, was very important. Martin is a pleasing guy and he wants to please everybody. He had people here and he's from here and my guess is he pleased them all.

Sometimes you fight back like that and it takes all your energy. We needed to play better defense in the first half.

Escondido was just shredding our zone, so Al suggested we play man-to-man defense and get after it.
