advantage basketball effort energy freshman gets good guy minute passes people playing recognize takes team uplifting
People that know basketball recognize effort opportunities that a guy takes advantage of and he's done that every minute he's been on the floor. Here's a freshman that's come in an really chipped in on the glass, defensively, making good passes and playing with a lot of energy and kind of uplifting the team when he gets on the floor.
freshman good necessity needed played
Don't know yet. Sometimes it's out of necessity that you play a freshman right away. Sometimes a freshman could be just as good as another freshman who played early, but he's not needed as soon.
feet good move people toughest
The toughest part for bigger-than-average people is to move your feet and to get your feet in good position,
close double foul gets glad good played similar teams tried ways
We played him similar to a lot of ways other teams have played him, or tried to. He's still 5-for-10 (shooting), he still gets in double figures, pretty close to a double-double. He's a good player. I was glad he got into foul trouble.
close good team three weaknesses
Those are three really good testers for a team to show weaknesses and show how close we are with this group.
ask bashful corner far good mixing people perceived questions stand thinking willing
I've had that said to me a lot, that I'm good at working a room, ... There are people who have questions they want to ask me. If I stand in a corner somewhere, how is that perceived? That's perceived as me thinking I know everything. I don't know everything. Far from it. I'm willing to learn. That's why I'm not bashful about mixing with people.
good knew
Not at all. No way. We knew they were a good team.
battle good guys won
It was a hard-fought game. Our guys got some pretty good looks. We won the battle over the grabs and we won the turnover battle. We didn't get it done where it mattered, and that is the score.
good needed year
They're good on the glass. They've been good all year and we needed to be better. When you let them have second-chance opportunities like that, it's tough.
bit far goes good group guys hard record year
There's a lot that goes into it now, and I never know from year to year how good we're going to be as far as record and everything else, ... But I just know that these guys are working every bit as hard as any group I've ever coached.
coaching continue good hopefully hungry stay
They're attentive, they're hungry, they have good instincts, they've had good coaching and hopefully they'll continue to stay hungry and hopefully they'll continue to get good coaching.
attack ball catch gets good job paint post stronger
Defensively he's better. Passing, you know, he's been able to catch the ball in the post or attack the paint and find people. He's done a pretty good job of that. He's stronger with the ball when he gets it inside.
catch four good group locker season statement themselves tough toward
This group, to have accomplished what they've done and to catch themselves in mid-season and get those four really tough (victories) toward the end of the year, I think they made a statement that it has been a pretty good season for such a young group. That's a tough group in (that locker room).
good season statement
