Chattanooga Wrestling Postgame Quotes
VMI (4-10, 1-4 SoCon) at Chattanooga (11-9, 5-0 SoCon)
Maclellan Gym - Chattanooga, Tenn.
Sunday - Feb. 20, 2011
Head Coach Heath Eslinger
On the senior class:
"This is a great group of seniors. They have been through several coaching changes, ending with me. They have done a great job of buying in to what we are doing and the direction of our program. I am grateful to them. We just want to make sure they end and accomplish what they want to accomplish individually over the next few weeks."
On scoring points late in the period:
"We have to do that. We have to take more shots. That wasn't enough shots. We have to score more points. You have to take the mat knowing you are going to win. If something goes south, you have to figure out a way to win. These guys are grown men and they have to find a way to win. They train hard, they work hard and they do the right things. They need to do what they are capable of doing and in some spots we didn't do that today. It is not about winning, it is about progress."
On the upcoming Southern Conference Tournament:
"We have to get better. We got five single-legs in there and we didn't score them. That will keep you out of the NCAA Tournament. We have to get in here tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. and figure it out. In two weeks, if you don't finish, they don't; care. There is no second chance. From here on out, we have to get the job done. We have a great group of guys and we are good enough to win. Now we have to go do it."
