came settle shot teams
They came out and really shot well. We let them get a big lead, and we can't do that. Teams settle down when that happens.
kid played shot tough
Their kid made a tough shot in the lane. I thought we had him played well.
approach importance mindful next
I'm mindful of the importance of the next two games. I just don't think there's any other way to approach this one.
assistant budget leaves manage office people report time work
I have people that work for me that report to me. I report to other people. I have a budget to control. I have correspondence that leaves this office and comes to me. I have to manage my time and my assistant coaches.
anytime competing consider league playing teams win
Anytime you want to consider yourself one of the better teams in the league you have to win on the road. It's one thing to say, 'Yeah, we're playing well on the road,' and, 'Yeah, we're competing on the road.' But ultimately, you have to win.
along confident conversation direction somewhere steve
It will be interesting to see which direction Steve goes. He's very intelligent in these matters. I'm confident that somewhere along the way he'll be having a conversation (with Taylor).
ability along business kenny
With his demeanor, his ability to get along with his teammates, everything, I've just been blessed. I haven't had too many in this business like Kenny Hasbrouck.
certainly helpful respect size somebody tremendous
(Diop) has been great. He's doing more things, getting more comfortable. I have tremendous respect for Thompson. He's certainly a handful. To be able to put somebody in who's at least the same size as him is certainly helpful for us.
approach game key playing prep team
I've told the team very explicitly: We're approaching this game like any other. Our approach is the same. Our prep is the same. We're playing all our key people.

You never anticipate each one of them playing to their maximum ability.
great levi positive success team wish
Levi made a great contribution to the team and benefited Siena in a positive way. We wish him much success in his future.
attention clearly fact far game last lost minute pay stems struggle
Obviously, this game was a struggle from minute one. We clearly lost the game in the first half. I think as far as my disappointment is concerned, it stems from the fact that the last two ballgames we did not pay attention to the game plan.
attention brought call coach coaches few last needs players
A lot of coaches, I think, in the last few years have brought a lot of attention to themselves. Coaches need to coach and let the players play. The recognition needs to go to players exclusively. There are too many coaches who call attention to themselves. I'm not going to do that.
absolute
He's just a nightmare. He is an absolute nightmare.
