emergency eventually obligated release since
I don't know if we're obligated to do anything. I will (grant release) because eventually he's going to need to be on aid. There's not an emergency need to give him a release (now) since they have no scholarships. It doesn't do him any good.
heart player russell soul start
I don't know if one player spurred it (team chemistry) on more than others, but I do think Russell Robinson, from start to finish, has been the heart and soul of our team.
answering consider focused
I didn't think we were as focused as we should be. I don't consider 25 turnovers answering the bell.
accuracy believe far high led release school shot
I didn't see him play much in high school because we were led to believe we wouldn't have a shot at him. His release has got to get quicker, but his accuracy is far more than I ever expected.
bit dole followed knew quite senator
I didn't know that senator Dole had followed it that close. I was thrilled. He really knew quite a bit about our recruiting.
certainly figure guys hopefully job knock played position shot trying
He's young and just is trying to figure it out. ... I probably played Brandon too many minutes, and that may have contributed to him not being as effective. He said he wasn't tired, but certainly we've got to do a better job of getting guys in there and hopefully put them in a position where they can knock down a shot and give us a boost.
again coach ended surprised
He's well connected-enough he'll coach again in college, or I wouldn't even be surprised if he ended up in the league, he's so well connected.
good performance
Gardner was fabulous. It's about as good a performance as I've seen.
anybody bad came great second
Anybody can have a bad half. He came out and was great the second half. It all went through Aaron.
group love
I love our team. I love working with the guys. They just want to get out there. This group has been like a sponge.
leagues lit means parity people
I look around the county, and I see a lit of leagues like ours. With parity a lot of people think that means mediocrity.
crushed education kid start
I know it hurts. It crushed him. But if the kid isn't tough, how can a walk-on kid from Asheville, N.C., come in here, get an education and start for Kansas?
bodies main players playing second throw tired
In the second half, they were playing tired because because we were able to throw a lot of bodies at them. Their main players don't ever come out.
four game negatives playing seed selection
I kind of thought we would be a four seed before the game even started. We are not complaining at all about the seed. That is one of the negatives about playing a game that butts right up to the selection show.
