five help hit indication mark needed quarter stepped walker
Tanner scored five points, but that was no indication of what he did on the floor. He did everything we needed him to do to help us win. I thought Mark Walker stepped up and hit those two big threes in the first quarter to get us going.
chase decided great guards heard helped leave player uncovered
It's great to have a player come off the bench, that no one has ever heard of, and have him play great. They decided they were going to leave one of our guards uncovered and he made his shots. That helped chase them out to the perimeter.
answering kids runs
With experienced kids like Gregory and Koop on the floor, they do the things they need to do. It's not about answering runs to me; it's just about making plays.
overall sure tempo transition
We got some turnovers that were big. I'm sure we got the most transition hoops, but the tempo overall was set by Orem.
good might region three tie
We're the region champs right now. We might tie for it, but everyone else has at least three losses. We feel good about that.
attacking executing grown needed tonight
We weren't executing the things that I thought we needed to execute. We weren't attacking as well as we needed to. Other times we've started that way, then grown into it. Tonight we didn't.
best cover gets guard nobody players since sophomore team top
Since he's been a sophomore he's had to guard the top players on every team and nobody gets the best of him. And when other players on the team get beat, Tanner is always there to cover up for them.
best defender gets nobody position post state
Nobody gets position on him inside. If he's not the best post defender in the state then I don't know who is.
attacked choose covered forward gap kicked ran time
We ran the same play (end of regulation), but this time they covered the A gap, so Koop attacked the B gap with the dribble. Now their back forward has to choose. Is he going to take Koop or is he going to take Walker? He choose Koop and kicked it to Walker.
ball best except floor free missed people player plays
Koop, I felt, was the best player on the floor except for the missed free throw. He got the ball to people and he made some plays himself.
came care halftime
He came to me at halftime and told me that he'd take care of it.
knew region teams thinks win
Going in, I knew we had to win this game. Now I can look at it a little more politically. But everyone in this region thinks they can win on the road. The teams are too good.
breaks game today
Those are the breaks of the game and you have to play through them. We just didn't have it today in the right places, and they did.
chance good might second
We still had a good chance there at the end to win, and if we would have had one more second we might have won.
