four good problem quarters season together
We just didn't have a good first half. Our problem has been inconsistency to put four quarters together all season long, and that's been our downfall.
good himself knock looks needs
He's a good shooter. We'd like him to take more shots, but being a sophomore, I think he has it in himself that he doesn't think he needs to take those shots. But we need to have him take those looks and try to knock those down.
bad behind early falling giving good hang onto opportunity playing quarter start stay
We didn't get off to too good of a start in the first quarter falling behind as bad as we were playing offensively. We were able to hang onto it because Y-C was making some early turnovers and giving us every opportunity to stay in the game.
against effort eight ends game good held hold inside points rest six
Defensively, we held them to eight, Holman had six inside and he ends up with eight for the game - so we hold him to two points the rest of the way. That's a pretty good effort against the big guy.
boards causing defense felt good kenneth numbers playing presence
Kenneth didn't have a lot of numbers offensively, but his presence on the boards was felt out there and I think defensively he made some contributions as well. So did Will before he fouled out. He was playing some pretty good defense and scrambling around out there, causing some havoc.
adjusting basketball confidence figuring good guys higher intensity level pleased program
He's getting his confidence and he's figuring out that the varsity level is a little higher intensity level. But he's adjusting and so are the other kids. I'm pleased with all those guys that swing. I can't say enough good things about what I think that is doing for our basketball program in the future.
basketball good hill pleasant
Pleasant Hill just has too many horses, they're a good basketball team.
against care coach couple effort good hard kids line next score scramble situation start success teams until work
Their effort - they scramble and work as hard as they can until the end of the game. And I coach them to the end in that situation - I don't care what the score is. I want to see them get better and see those young kids have some success down the line here in the next couple years and it's going to start against good teams like that.
boards game great jeremy minutes played steady tried
I thought Jeremy played pretty steady for us. He played a lot of minutes and he just had a great game on the boards and he tried to do what he could defensively.
jeremy nine rebounds seem steady
I thought Jeremy had a steady game. For having 16 points, it didn't really seem like he had that many. He just did so many other things. He had nine rebounds and that's key.
basketball cannot care chance executing giving job movement needed offense offensive shots taking
We just didn't get the shots up that we needed to get up and you just cannot do that at the varsity level. You're just not going to get away with that. We have to do a better job taking care of the basketball and then on the offensive side, executing and getting some movement in the offense and giving it a chance to get into a flow.
bigger both inside kid shoot
He's a bigger kid who can shoot inside and out and he was doing both (Tuesday) night.
allowing ball both continuity flow giving helped kids move offensive scoring though
When both those kids went to the bench, even though they weren't giving us a lot from the offensive scoring department, they were giving us a lot from a continuity standpoint. They were allowing us to have flow and move the ball well and get it to our shooters and they helped with rebounding.
ball basket bit break court decisions far hold job kids looks open passes second telegraph though
We got to where we made some better decisions as far as passes were concerned. We didn't hold the ball as much and telegraph passes. I though we had better reversal. We got out on the break a little bit better where we were able to get some better looks at the basket and not get into so many half-court sets. We do want these kids to get out and use some of their athleticism and play in the open court a little bit and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.
