coach double finishing games nobody road season six winning year
The Coach of the Year doesn't make the season more gratifying, winning six games on the road by double digits and finishing the way we did being so young is what was so gratifying. This year we started 1-2 and nobody thought we had a shot.
certainly chance coach deal good players reflection win year
The coach of the year deal is nice, I'm not going to lie, but that's all a reflection of the players. That's the way it always works. If you have good players, you have a good chance to win those things. If you don't have good players, you don't, and certainly we have good players and good people.
beat believe conference confidence good great hard help magnitude national performance saturday winning
A good performance on Saturday would be a great springboard for our kids' confidence going into conference play. You can get confidence from winning games, but you still have to go out and beat someone of national magnitude to really believe that it's going to help you win a hard game.
beat bond due enjoys family fraternity guys honestly nobody profession salt seeing somebody strong suffer worth
You want to beat them on the court, or on the field. But after that, there is a strong fraternity of guys that really bond together, that look out for the betterment of all coaches. I would honestly say that nobody in our profession who's worth his salt enjoys seeing somebody else suffer, or their family suffer due to a termination.

You've got to drive it to score. He chose to pass. That didn't cost us. What cost us is at the end of regulation we didn't execute.

You've got a guy chasing the all-time win record, and you'd think you'd want to be there to say you were a part of it.

These guys will come in and will play hard. They can shoot the ball. They'll make us make plays which will be good for us. Hopefully, we'll be excited to play. I'm sure the Holmes boys will let their teammates know how much it means to them and how much fun they'll have playing in Allen. We'll do the same.
four kick moments seen share shown
All four have shown moments where you could say, 'Man, it's really going to kick in and now they're on their way,' ... But the thing I've seen is they like each other. They share it. They don't have egos.

All reports we have received indicate Rodrick had no involvement in the altercation other than him being hit over the head while going up the stairs.

The lights are on in Allen. We can definitely play.
ask clothes proper reason street suited wear
You'd have to ask Micah. He told us he couldn't play. The only reason he suited up was he didn't have proper street clothes to wear that day.
colorado drawing team
Colorado has a better team than it's had in years, and I think they are drawing better than they were earlier.
aaron combining effort feed good guys people pleased pressure year
I am most pleased with J.R. and Keith combining for 10 assists and only one turnovers. That's the kind of effort we should get from these guys because people are going to pressure out on these guys, and they are going to have to feed the post. Also, Aaron was as good as he has been all year tonight.
cordial spoke
He called. I called him right back. We spoke for 30 minutes. I think it was a matter-of-fact, cordial conversation.
