Some final Coach Orr quotes

Coach Orr is normally pretty sphinx-like with the media.  Between declarations of faith and sayings like "the season is a marathon, not a sprint," "the next game is the most important game of the year," and "we play inside out," he is usually pretty circumspect on what is in his mind.  By the way, I don't blame him for this.  It makes perfect sense. 

In the post-game in Kalamazoo, Coach did cut loose....a little. The quote below about Marc Larson was said with Marc sitting right next to him....and the second quote I think is interesting as well.  It certainly is true.  There were times this season where we appeared to be a decent time, but it was far from consistent. 

I looked at some of the stats yesterday, and in the aggregate, we were a 10th place team with 10th place stats.  What surprised me most is that we actually were not very good on defense, even in our conference.

More on that later....

Orr on Larson

I don’t know if he really appreciated the talent he had or as much as he could have, because to me games like this don’t have to be the exception. He’s got the athletic ability, the size and the skill to be this type of player. And I respect him stepping up.”

Orr on what is enough (As opposed to what wasn't enough, like shooting 59%)

“You win games with competitive toughness and that’s something that really was not our personality for the entire year,” coach Louis Orr said. “We had it in pieces, in parts.

“I wouldn’t describe our team as having that killer, competitive toughness that you need all the time.”
