bench few guys players quite sitting
Duke's done that for quite a few years now. Players know their roles. You don't have a lot of guys sitting on the end of the bench who think they should be playing.
attitude effort fortitude mean players playing practice whatever
The players are responsible for whatever way we're playing right now, because it's their attitude and their effort in practice that allows us to play like this. To the players, you can say all the right things, but if the players don't have the fortitude to get it done, it doesn't mean anything as a coach.
felt game nobody players says time winning
Winning is what you have to do this time of year. Nobody says how you have to do it or how it looks, so that's what I was about today. I was going to try to win that game somehow, and the players felt the same way.
effort good hard players team tough week
It was a really good team effort tonight. Obviously, this has been a tough week and it's been pretty hard to keep my focus, so it must be for the players also.
bad chris coach good halfway head job lost personally player responsibility school semester successful sure time wants whatever
This is the first time in 28 years as a head coach I've lost a player halfway through the season. It's something that I personally take responsibility for. I feel bad about it. My job now is to make sure that Chris does a good job in school this semester and is successful with whatever he wants to do after school is out.
great job particular players
I thought our players did a great job the way we started out today, with everything that's going on around this particular game.
becomes players
It becomes very important that you have as many players as possible.
counting days next player
There are no off days for the next 16 games, counting Temple. It should be interesting. If you're a player or a coach, you like these next two months.
certainly college easier guys inside player stop three year
He was on his way. Player of the Year as a sophomore. He was certainly capable, but who knows? It's easier to stop an inside player because you can put three guys around him in college basketball.
best inside nobody player stops
He is the best inside player in the country. Generally, nobody stops him.
everybody good happens hard hope overcome players wait worked
I know I've worked hard, and I know the players have worked hard this year. We've had to overcome some things, and I hope that's good enough. We're going to be just like everybody else: we're going to wait and see what happens Sunday. That's all we can do.
coming earn experience four good individual player players returning several takes
I know what it takes to win, and it's up to each individual player to make that happen. We have to earn the right to be a good team. We have several returning players that got a lot of experience as sophomores and juniors, and we have four new players coming in that want to get things done. Hopefully, that will be infectious.
forward looking next player time
I'm looking forward to it. This time of the year, if you're a player or a coach, you like these next two months.
bit might worn
We might have worn them down a little bit at the end of the first half.
