We are thrilled Coach Montague joined the Marist baseball staff, ... His work ethic and baseball knowledge are unparalleled. His energy on and off the field carries over to the players and that is why he gets the most out of his players.

The games that we've won have been close. We've had to go to our closer every time, so it was good to spread out and not have to use him early in the series.

This area is good for baseball, and I know it because we were competing for the same kids against Marist, ... We lost some of those battles and we won some.

Pitching has always been the dominant thing for me, ... The campus is beautiful, the people have been helpful and courteous — everybody has been great.

We did a better job as the game went on, being more patient. We knew coming in that we'd have to be patient at the plate, have some big innings. In the first couple innings, we didn't do that.

It's a good thing for me to get this job, ... But it's a tragic thing for the city of New Orleans.

I left when they said, 'Get out,' .

Recruiting and coaching pitching are the two things I've done since I started coaching in 1996.
