beat double gray guard leaves teams tough
We just got beat by a better team. When they go bad, they can always go in to Gray and you have to guard him. Most teams will double him, and that leaves someone else open. That makes them tough to beat.
clear five focus four hurt intent next team
I wanted to clear the air. I wanted everyone to know my intent and have my team able to focus on the next four or five games, if we have that many, and not have them hurt in this process.
chance felt game last team
That was paramount. We had talked, going into the first half, that this team was on (its) last legs. They felt there was one game that they (had a chance to win) and it was our game. I told our team to go out and take them (Bulls' legs) away. Once you do that, they'll feel like there's nothing else left. I think that's what happened.
goes good great job team
I thought Marquis Webb did a great job on Clayton. As Clayton goes the team goes, and I think we did a good job on him.
accomplish action basketball best coaching course enjoyed family five move opportunity past program team time tremendous work
I have enjoyed coaching the Rutgers basketball team for the past five seasons, and have had the opportunity to work with some tremendous young men. But at this time, I feel that this is the best course of action for me to take for the Rutgers basketball program and for my family. I feel we were able to accomplish a lot here, but it is time for me and my family to move forward.
ability best guard hate hurts point pressure team waste
I hate to waste the ability of our point guard because he's the best pressure guard out there. It hurts our team if we don't have that pressure.
changes guards guys improved philosophy reason team
The reason I feel we're a better rebounding team is we're more athletic. That changes the whole philosophy of things. And all our guys rebound; our guards get after it and our big guys have improved in that area, too.
court dominated kids shooting situations team time understand
This was the first time we dominated a team with Quincy not shooting well. These kids now understand what to do on the court in situations and they'll compete.
both deserved entire extremely fought hard teams throughout
This was a very, very, I want to say entertaining, but more so, hard-fought contest. Both teams fought extremely hard throughout the entire game. We feel we deserved to win, but they feel the same.
challenge double guys team type
We're the type of team that at times it's a challenge for us to score. What I tell my team is we want two other guys to (score) double figures. We don't know who that may be, we just need two other guys to contribute.
dominated played shooting team time year
That's the first time we played this year that we dominated a team without Quincy shooting well.
against felt game last talked team
That (run) was paramount. We talked about, going into the game, that this team was on their last leg. They felt if there was one game they had a chance, it was against us. I told our team to go out and take them away, because then there's nothing else left. And that's what happened.
extremely team today
We're a different team today than we were back then. But I think we can go out and play this team extremely hard.
finals forgotten ncaa round team
What has been forgotten is we did get to the finals of the NIT and I thought that was better than (losing) in the NCAA in the first round the way that team was.
