handful players
They had two players that were a handful for us tonight.
best-friends care chemistry gets good points star type
They don't care who gets the points or the star of the game. Their chemistry is unbelievable. They're good friends off the court. It's just a camaraderie type of thing.
environment kids
I told the kids you will not find a better environment to play in than the one they're going to play in (Friday) night. It will be electric.
looked picture truly
This is truly a team. If you looked up 'team' in the dictionary, you'd see a picture of the 2005-06 Pinckneyville Panthers.
anywhere eight five games guy guys nine typical
A lot of games we'll just have one guy in doubles, and the other eight guys will have anywhere from five to nine points. That's pretty typical of our team.
bit crawl found games hung kids proud teams
We're going to have to toughen up a bit and not let teams crawl back into games like this. (But) I'm proud of the kids and the way they hung in there and found a way to win.
ball movement phase played
I didn't think we played well in any phase of the game. Offensively, we didn't have the ball movement that we usually have.
realize transition wore
I didn't realize it was that big of a run. We got some buckets in transition and I think we wore them down a little bit.
bit defensive hard kept preaching quarter settled
We kept preaching how hard you have to play. We were a bit overanxious there in the first quarter and made some defensive mistakes, but once we settled into a rhythm, things started to go our way.
chance christmas class coming five kids react six strange teams
There are probably five or six teams that have a chance in Class A. But you just never know how kids will react coming out of the Christmas break. Strange things can happen.
balanced careful playing
When you are playing zone, you have to be careful about 3-point shooting. You want to have balanced inside-outside scoring.
aggressive attack catch either felt life needed second settling shots towards
We didn't tell them anything they didn't already know. We felt like we needed to be more aggressive. We did catch a little life there towards the end of the second quarter, but we weren't being aggressive at either end. We were settling for 3-point shots and needed to attack the rim a little more.
attacking ballgame good job late
Late in the ballgame we did a real good job of attacking their zone.
great job work worried
I was worried about their work on the boards, but I think we did a great job there.
