amazing bring certain coach everybody filled forward guys learned pat picked pressure ready stepped teacher time
Sometimes that's a lot to ask, so I'm not going to pressure them into being at a certain stage. As a coach and a teacher I learned a long time ago you've got to bring them along, and then when they're ready they'll show what they can do. You push, you prod, you pat and you do the other things that everybody does in teaching, and it's amazing how our guys over the years have kind of stepped forward and picked up and filled that void.
best coach happened men remember stepping
You've got to remember what was being said about them in November, December, and into January. What's changed? OK, now what's happened is the coach is stepping down. But they can play. They can make shots. They've got one of the best big men in the country. What don't they have?
among appreciate came coach job received somewhere three
The three of us appreciate where we came from and how we got here. There was no one that received a job here, among the three of us, by privilege. You had to get something done somewhere as a coach on your own.

You look at some coaching staffs across the country,

We are not athletic or quick enough to be playing from behind. These guys know it, and the coaching staff knows it. Boy, did (Arizona) play well.

We are not athletic or quick enough to be able to play from behind. The players know it. The coaching staff knows it. That was our worst nightmare.
coaching guys likes man player staff works
I see in him a young man that's always wanted to be a Badger, works hard, listens, makes the other guys better in practice, just does all the things a coaching staff likes to see a player do.
coaching college coming continue early good helps hopefully hungry played stay three
All three played in pretty good (high school) programs, and that always helps coming into a college situation. But being the first practice, it's still too early to get a read on the freshmen. They're attentive, they're hungry, they have good instincts, they've had good coaching and hopefully they'll continue to stay hungry and continue to get good coaching.

I like it for these players who are working so hard, to take care of these three against NCAA Tournament teams.
bit maybe past staff talked training
Not that I've seen. Maybe every once in a while our training staff just talked to him a little bit to make sure, 'What are you feeling?' But they've done that in the past with other guys, too, that have had injuries.
against ball basket eat five happen knocked patience remember seconds shots struggling
The ball went in the basket and they were struggling at that point. We knocked some shots down and then we were a little more patient. Sometimes we have to remember it isn't all going to happen in five seconds. It can happen in 18 seconds on a possession. If you don't show some patience against Northwestern, they'll eat you up.
