Quotes from Coach Chaney:

"With us, if you don't play hard or play the right way, you just don't play and that helps the guys understand that once you get to college you have to bring it".

"The purpose of Patterson's Prep Basketball Program is to get these guys ready to succeed in college".

"A lot of people ask me how I keep everyone happy, I try to go opposite of that and ask how do they keep me happy?"

"The key to our teams are how unselfish we are with the ball. Nobody cares who scores as long as our team scores.  That's what people are most impressed with.  When you get this many big-time players and they're only playing half the game, it's amazing. The guys accept it at the beginning and there are no complaints about playing time."

"Our guys hate to lose, even in drills and that is why our practices are so intense."

"We are a very disciplined team and we push our kids to the limit."

"I always want the most talented team in the country.  We recruit great players, but they have to be my type of guys.  You need the extra thing inside of you. If you don't want to work to be great, this probably isn't the place for you. We demand a lot. I do a lot of yelling and screaming. We don't want them to settle for second-best."
