Washington Reflects On 2007-08 Season

Head Men's Basketball coach Henry Washington concluded his 15th season as head coach of the Monarchs.  Below are some of his thoughts on last season and the future of the program. 

Overview of season:
"2007-08 was an outstanding developmental year for the Macomb Men's Basketball program.  We had great contributions from first year players and the sophomores improved from last year."

On his student-athletes:
"Coaching a group of fine student-athletes is always a coaches dream.  My dreams were fulfilled this year.  We matured as players and people during the course of the year."

On postseason success:
"Our regional tournament success was extremely  rewarding for everyone associated with our program.  When a group of people experience something noteworthy together, through hard work, that group usually becomes stronger.  We became stronger and even more determined to succeed by our success this season."

Outlook for next season:
"A core group of key returning players will give us a huge advantage, especially early in the season.  The incoming freshman have huge potential.  Once the sophomores and freshman develop chemistry, the 2008-09 season should be memorable."
