best finished guys league nobody season
Nobody finished the season in the two best away gyms in the league like our guys (did).
basketball best sure
Basketball is a streaky game. The best thing to do is to make sure you get what you want at your end. We went through some stretches where we didn't get that.

decent four free gotten guys gym position ranked score six three throws
Right at the end there, if we score on about three or four of those possessions where we had decent shots, we could have gotten it to two or three (points). Our free throws weren't going in. Who knows. But when you can come into a ranked opponent's gym and be in that position and get it to six it's do-able. Our guys battled tonight.
guys jump means younger
OK, that means there's opportunities for some of these younger guys to jump into those minutes.
certain coming exactly maybe mean midnight might people problem whatever
Some campuses had a problem with certain establishments emptying out at midnight for people coming over to the 'Midnight Madness' and maybe not comprehending exactly what was going on on the court. So take that to mean whatever you might think I mean,
easier easily happen jump people seen ship shown
It's easier for them to know that if they do the right things, they've seen it happen where you can have some success. And people don't jump ship as easily. They don't get discouraged as easily if they're a part of something that has shown some success.
head plan practice
It's pretty much been the same practice plan on the first day for 20-some years as a head coach, and I don't think I'm going to change.
issues positions responsibility seriously stay sure
They are positions of responsibility, I take them seriously and I try to make sure that I stay up on all the legislation, all the issues and just try to be fair,
analyze difficult
It's very difficult to ever try to analyze this without paralyzing yourself.
guys jump lost means people younger
It's the same old story and I'd like to say it's a different tune, but it's not. People will say, 'Oh, you lost this guy, lost that guy'. OK, that means there's opportunities for some of these younger guys to jump into those minutes.
closed couple free games given lost michigan miss throws
It's kind of like the free throws we've given up. We've lost a couple games because (against) Michigan and Northwestern, they (didn't) miss a free throw down the stretch. We just closed out (a victory) the same way.
body feet means position
It's always about feet and position. Position means your feet have to get you there. How you use your upper body is important, too, but your feet are what take you where you go.
