again chance coach college deserve heart
I don't deserve a chance to coach in college again because I abused my opportunity. The only thing I know now is that my heart is back in the right place.
ambition grateful humbled large mistake played role second
I made a mistake and I'm grateful for the second chance. I'm humbled about what I did. Selfishness and ambition played a large role in what I did.

I have no understanding how I got to that point. In a panic situation, you don't always make good decisions.
deny
We just could not deny him the ball.
easy inside playing shots work
We just wanted to work on playing inside more. You can get a lot more easy shots that way.
deny free kept stand straight throw tried
We just tried to stand straight up, but he kept getting to the free throw line. We just could not deny him the basketball.
keeps range step
This was a big step for us because it keeps us in that range of .500 (in the conference).
stay taking three
We were only down about three and we started taking some hurried shots. I was disappointed we didn't stay solid.

It seems like we've gone months where we didn't hit 16 3s.
couple firing good instead offense shot team
A lot of it is shot selection. When the other team makes a couple shots, you have to buckle down and get something good on offense instead of firing up the first thing you see. We don't always do that.
hoping works
He's still with us, but he's hoping that it works out for him to have one of these other offers.

We kind of approach it like a triangle, like we know who our top picks are, but down from there, we've got to be flexible.
chance good pick teams time
We play some pretty good teams in that time so we have a chance to pick up some pretty good wins.
ball basically hit knocked ripping time
The one time she didn't get a hit was an error, and she basically knocked the shortstop over backwards. She was just ripping the ball tonight.
