Sheldon was voted the laziest player on the team last year by his teammates. Hands down. But this year, he was voted the hardest worker. It's been a complete 180 degree turnaround.

It means a lot to me. Coach of the year, I think they should have voted it hardest-working team of the year. It's not just me. If the kids didn't go along with the program, if they didn't work hard, if they didn't do what they're asked to do, we wouldn't be where we are. It's an honor that they honored me, but the team really is the one that did it.

Year and year out, Rider has a tough team. We're going to have our hands full.

They were a great team coming in this year, and then you add a post player like Maguire and the team's even better. They've got a lot of weapons.

They hit some shots and we had some defensive lapses.

Our kids guarded well. Our defensive effort was the best we've had all season.
