Coach Dick Conolly of Weber commented after the game about the fouls and the physical aspect of the game. The kids are agressive, they like to play and they work hard. The last five fouls of the game were not smart fouls on our part. We did alot of reaching in which we dont like to do. We would rather play defense with our feet. As far as the physical aspect of the game, the coach remarked, the game was physical where we believe in being physical, at the backboard. We like it, we enjoy every bump we get. What we dont like is unnecessary fouls, referring to an incident that took place in the third period, where a Weber player got in a fight over a jump ball. What this type of thing does is throw our team into a turmoil and it takes a while to settle down and start playing basketball, Conolly stated.
