Martin acknowledged Coach Cal’s ability to recognize and adapt to the flow of the game, stating, “He saw a few things that were going really well for us. Reed was able to get to the rim a number of times at critical moments in the second half.

This marked the first perfect score for a UK gymnast in over 25 years, leaving Wilson overwhelmed with emotion.
