basketball college concerns easiest kid perception understand understanding
I understand people's concerns and I understand the perception of things, and I don't like it because I don't want any kid ever to leave. It comes to maturity, and comes to understanding college basketball isn't the easiest thing in the world.
bad concern consistent difficult effort eventually good nights team
The only thing that doesn't concern me is our effort. We're going to have bad nights, we're going to have good nights and everything in between. But if a consistent effort is there, we're going to eventually get it to where we're going to be a difficult team to play against. But we're not there yet.
bowling worried
I'm just worried about Bowling Green. We just got pounded by 20.
everybody lack seems
It's not from a lack of effort, it's not from a lack of work, it's not from a lack of commitment. Everybody seems to be working very hard, we're just not getting it done.
good guy incredibly number parents passionate son
I'm incredibly passionate about every guy here being very good and being better. I've had a number of parents tell me, you've made my son better than I ever thought he could be.
free shot sure throws
I'm not even sure we've shot a free throw. We haven't shot free throws in so long, I couldn't even tell you.
ball beat central looked played pull respect state
I've got a lot of respect for them. They got beat all day by Toledo, by 30. They looked bad. And then they played Central Michigan, and they pull out a win. In the Ball State game, they played great.
basketball far mature playing team
At the end of the day, they were a far more mature team playing basketball than we were.
came game hit miami played shots
At the end of the day I thought Miami just played really well, I really did. I thought Miami came out to play well, they hit their shots and we didn't have the game in control.
ability defend determined easy game inability run second start stay
The run that really determined the game was to start the second half. Their easy baskets off turnovers and our inability to defend them. And then our ability to stay out of our way a lot of times.
five good locked played
After the first five minutes, I thought we locked in pretty good and played some pretty good defense.
good indiana kids recruit state ties
The more Indiana ties you can get, the better. You've got to recruit Indiana and there's enough good young kids in the state that you've got to recruit it hard.
four good guess guy late martin people please pleased pleasing steals stretch wants
The thing I like about Martin's play was his defense. I thought with his four steals and his very good defense, particularly in that stretch where we went on that late run, was very important. Martin is a pleasing guy and he wants to please everybody. He had people here and he's from here and my guess is he pleased them all.
bought fight kids start
The thing about being here, is if kids fight you, and they all fight you to start with, but if kids fight you, then it's difficult. I can always tell when a kid has really bought into what we're all doing, and when they do that, they become special.
