guys lose mental settled
We didn't lose our composure. We just settled down. We didn't at all panic. From a mental standpoint, guys weren't down on themselves.
act best brass burning crown deep discipline fire games guys inside knew looking type wrong
There's nothing wrong if you're not my type of guy, but I think guys should have the fire burning inside them. I always knew what games to get up for. I can read. I knew who was who. There's a discipline in me. I take a deep breath. Do I need to act out? Or is there another way. I'm not looking for a crown or brass ring. I just look to get the best out of each player.
class couple days guys hoping
I was hoping to get the guys a couple of days of class.
class couple days guys hoping travel
I was hoping to get the guys a couple of days in class. It's disappointing because we've got to travel and we just traveled.
against basket both call contact guys obviously problem whatever
You can call whatever you want against us, but it's got to be the same at both ends. When there's contact going to the basket, they call fouls. That's fine. But when my guys go to the basket and there's contact, it should be a foul. It's just that simple. When that doesn't occur, then obviously there's a problem there.
came gave guys justice served supposed
Justice was served because I think the ref gave them a goal. It was unfortunate that it came right at the end of the game. But the guys came through. That's what they're supposed to do.
bit farther guys whose
Getting to the semifinals for a lot of guys that were there, it wasn't enough. We would like to go farther this year. It's going to come down to whose got the most heart, and you also need a little bit of luck.
appreciation credit focus game great guys liked scholars-and-scholarship start tremendous
I've got a great appreciation for the focus they've brought. We didn't start off as well as we would've liked in the league. For us to be in the championship game after 0-3 ... it's a tremendous credit for all the guys on this club.
difference gave guys helped lift start
That really helped lift us. I don't know a better way to lift a team. It gave our guys a lot of confidence. It really made a difference in the start of the half.
appreciate club guys louis obviously pieces suffer understand
We are pieces of a puzzle, and each piece fits. When one piece doesn't work, we suffer as a team. The thing I appreciate about this club is that guys like Louis understand that. Louis' play has obviously been outstanding. We wouldn't be here without that.
changing games guys number obviously played simple six trying
We played a number of games with only six guys, and obviously had some success. Roles, not only are they changing and they're being defined, but the guys are trying to adjust. It's not always as simple as you like.
guy
They usually have one guy on one of us, but the other is open. So we just find the other guy.
alan came ended guys lost match nice rallying stepped team
Alan got down right away. But he came back. He really stepped up and it was nice because it got the team rallying again. We lost at 125 and he was down, so the guys were down. We ended up being up for that match and he wrestled real well.
came clearly far gave guys half lift locker positive room second start though took
The one at the end of the half really took us in the locker room on a real positive note. I don't know a better way to lift a team. Even though we had scored 40 points, I don't think it all came smoothly. It was clearly a big lift for us and gave our guys confidence. It really made the difference, as far as our start in the second half.
