To me, he didn't do anything bad. Yeah, he left the court. I understand that. But if you saw your son or husband in trouble, you would do the same thing. He's a human being before he's an athlete.
It's a humbling game. You never really figure it out.
That's pretty accurate. Coach, I try to listen to him to a T. When he says something, I try to do it to the best of my ability. I won't short-cut it. Even he's like, 'Sometimes you've got to just play. You don't have to do everything I say.' It's working out now.
That's the coach's opinion. It doesn't really matter what I think, because he said it.
Not at all. This year didn't go the way we wanted as far as reaching our goals, but we believe it's short-term.
It makes you put everything in perspective. Whatever the reason is we're crying about playing time or whatever, it just makes you look at the big picture. His health is more important than trying to rush back and coach us.
It is the greatest rush you can get. For me, that is the greatest rush I can ever get. When it goes through the net, that is the greatest rush because fans explode and your teammates get excited.
It's hard to sit and watch. If you can jog a little, you should be out there. I was going to play and if it hurt too much, I'll sit down.
It shows a lot about our team. We have to build on this. We can't win one and then lose five.
I try not to look at the past. I keep moving forward and hopefully things get better.
It was definitely a huge bump in the road. Hopefully next year and in the years to come, we'll be where we want to be. But you've got to take your lumps, and nobody thought it would be a lump like this.
It was embarrassing. I thought we played hard for the last three quarters. It was hard playing catch-up. We ended up losing by six but the first quarter was devastating.
It was an adjustment, to go from starting to coming off the bench. It wasn't a rut.
They've still scored 90 without them, ... We'll take it however we can get it, but 62 is a good job defensively.
