connect team vertical
The thing is to get a team out of man, you've got to connect on the vertical routes. That's something we didn't do very well all day.
couple high joking school state team win won
I've never experienced anything like this. We won a couple of state championships in high school (in 2003 and 2005). But it's not the same. I was joking with the team before the (title) game, that's what I do, win championships.
lost nine played points starting team tough twice
We played them (Stringer) tough twice this year; we lost by nine points and 12 points and were in each game. We have a young team and they are really starting to come together.
definitely finish riders stage teams tend wins
The American riders tend to do a lot better on the finish circuit. They are more used to it than the European-based riders. This will definitely play into who wins the stage - it's who wins the turns. I like one of the American teams for this stage.

They're by far the best defense that we will face (this season). Overall, their team speed is something you just really can't prepare for in practice. They have 11 guys on the field who can really fly and get around the ball.

calls coach continue good guard learning point run team time work
I got a lot of time at the point guard position, learning how to run a team (in Austin). I think I got better and better every day. For the most part, it was a good experience. I'm just going to continue to work every day, and if coach calls my number, I'll be ready.
help rebounds takes team wants whatever whether win
He wants to do whatever it takes to help the team win a championship, whether it's two rebounds or whatever. That's admirable. We know it's going to be a process.
bigger expect gap gave offense points team
I'll tell you what, that was big. It gave them a bigger gap and when you play a team with an offense like that, you can't really give them a lot of points and expect to win.
