My 11 week old puppies go from 10 at night until 7 in the morning in the crate with no accidents.

what are the night time arrangements. Is he in the crate all night? I personally would hate to crate a dog all night, and then turn around and crate him all day, but I know people do it and they do hold it, and the dog gets used to the routine.

Just make sure he has had plenty of time to eat and eliminate and play before you put him back in the crate.

I would suggest 15 to 20 minutes of vigorus play or a brisk walk before you re crate him.
