I like to credit Jason Kidd and our staff because it was their suggestion. I think that's what it's about in terms of unselfishness and trust. Richard did a great job.

Obviously, they've got Jason Kidd, who opens up the court so much, Vince Carter on one wing and Richard Jefferson on the other wing. That's a tough task. We've got to play great team defense, learn from each other and see what happens after that.

That staff over there (in Union County) deserve all the credit and the family, too.

In the stretch where they got back in it — and you have to give Lincoln-Way Central credit for doing that — we started shooting the three without investigating the inside. But for the most part, I thought we shared the responsibility offensively, and that was a key.

Kidd, turn off the light to spare my blushes.

We think the suggestion would be a good attempt at breaking the stalemate.
