anybody based good
I think he did some good things. I don't think I'll do any cartwheels based on how anybody played.
anybody certainly challenge deal due large played team tough
We played bad. But that was in large part due to them. They would be a team that could challenge for it all tonight. They'd be tough for anybody to deal with. Certainly they were way too much for us.
anybody attention ball detail game hard looked offense pay possession ran slow stuff understanding
He's a ball mover. It's not that our offense has been so slow ... we ran the same stuff when he was in the game and looked pretty good. Moving, cutting, being sharp, understanding how hard you've got to play, tighten every possession up, pay attention to detail ... he does that as well as anybody we have, if not better.
anybody coach feeling gets hope school wish
I wish coach was here. I hope he gets to feeling better. He's done more for this school than anybody could ever imagine.
anybody benefit decisions finish given hate hope opportunity season wish
I hate that for anybody in the profession. Sometimes administrations have to make decisions that benefit more than just an individual. I wish if a decision had come to this it would have been after the season. I would hope he would be given an opportunity to at least finish the season if there was going to be a change.
anybody losses table toughest
We've probably had the toughest losses of anybody in America. I think the table will turn.
anybody losses tables tougher turn week
We've had tougher losses than anybody in America. I think the tables will turn ... this is the roughest week we've had in a long time.
anybody biggest shot year
It's the biggest shot anybody has made this year for us.
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.
anybody cold jeremy left
Jeremy has been left out in the cold more than anybody else.
along ambassador anybody athletic good lives max maybe people program seen stop time touched turn university voice western
He's been as good an ambassador for this university and the athletic program as anybody ever has -- maybe the best. Stop and think about all the lives he has touched along the way, people in western Kansas, or wherever, that have never seen Max but know his voice the first time they turn on the radio.
anybody guard guys playing point start throwing tight touches
Our point guard and two-guard play has been average. That's not throwing anybody under the bus. We've just got to play better. When we do start playing better (at guard) I think our big guys will play better because they'll get more touches in tight at the basket.
faster offensive
We're going to be faster as a team. I think we could be a much better offensive rebounding team,
certainly eight knew league quick six successful turnaround wherever wins zero
I've never thought of that -- 'Is he a quick turnaround guy?' But he certainly has become that. I knew he would be very successful wherever he went, but I didn't know he would take UTEP from six to 24 or A&M from zero to eight in league wins -- and do it overnight, which is what he has done.
