figure grasped heck obviously players run team trying
I was trying to figure out what the heck I was doing. I wanted to get in there and run and obviously play some defense. We've got a young team but that's not an excuse. We've got a lot of young players that just haven't grasped it yet but we'll get there.
running interesting firsts
A first principle not formally recognized by scientific methodologists: when you run into something interesting, drop everything else and study it.
running powerful winning
Each of us has interests which conflict the interests of everybody else... 'everybody else' we call 'society'. It's a powerful opponent and it always wins. Oh, here and there an individual prevails for a while and gets what he wants. Sometimes he storms the culture of a society and changes it to his own advantage. But society wins in the long run, for it has the advantage of numbers and of age.
break good run
Obviously, the most disappointing thing is we just didn't do the things we had to do at the end, communicate. There was a little break down in communication, you know. They didn't have any more time-outs and I didn't think that they could run a play that was going to give them a good enough look that we couldn't defend.
run
We started to run things right at him. He was able to deliver.
run stuff
We started to run some stuff for him.
coming decide decided funding governing governor local money projects run spells system washington
If Washington spells out the funding parameters, do you want to run the possibility of having a governor decide we're going to put it all in construction (training)? Is that how we want to have the system managed, or do we want to have the money coming down, and projects decided by local governing boards?
good run time
I didn't think they had time to run a play that would get them a good (shot).
allow difficult extremely month nine past plan position prepared run season six successful tennis
In the past it has been extremely difficult to plan a successful tennis season with a six month staff. The nine month position will allow us to be more prepared and run a better program.
stayed tried trouble
We just stayed out of trouble all day and tried to keep the fenders on that thing. We were right there in the top-10. That was just Skinner luck.
ball drive patient settle strength
We weren't patient enough. We settled. There were some opportunities on the perimeter, but you don't have to settle for the shot. You can still drive the ball to the basket. That's the strength of our club.
flat game good lead played
We went flat and started coasting after the 7-1 lead after two innings. But I thought we played pretty good for the first game of the season.
change defense
We try to change it up, the way we play defense during the game.
challenge expected good great proved
We expected them to give us a good game. I thought this would be a great challenge for us, and that proved to be correct.
