assistant coach coaches coaching good guys head jobs looking preparing
I want guys who want to be head coaches. To be a good head coach you have to be a good assistant first. I want our guys looking at head coaching jobs and preparing to be head coaches because that makes them good assistant coaches.
good job key
We did a good job defensively on McGrath tonight. That was key for us.
below dangerous good guards job keeping shut
You're not going to shut him down. He's going to get shots. He's going to take shots. He's got range. We've done a good job on a lot of guards this year, keeping them below their averages. You can't let him get going. He's been very dangerous this year.
against executing finish good job key strength
It's been a strength of ours, executing against the zone. We didn't do as good a job today. ... The key was that we didn't finish off the first half. We should have been up by more.
ball good job keeping talk
He's just doing such a good job of keeping the ball up high. You talk about it a lot, but to consistently do it is something else.
anxious battle calmed clock defense good great hard job last played ranked running rushed shots size tested towards win
This was a great win for us. I think we were anxious at first and rushed a bit. But we calmed down and played a great last 30 minutes. They're a very good team, ranked 19th in the RPI, so they're battle tested and very well coached. Their size and versatility make them hard to play against. I thought we did a good job offensively, especially running the clock at the end and getting great shots towards the end of possessions. Our defense still has a long way to go though.
attacking ball bit came good great hard inside job playing shoot teams tonight
We didn't shoot it great tonight and a lot of that has to do with the zone. I thought we got the ball inside when we wanted to. I thought we did a good job attacking but don't read too much into it. It was two teams playing hard and we came up a little bit short.
double finding great guys job knew open passes passing percentage shooting shows team
The great passes ... the shooting percentage shows the passing decision-making our guys made throughout. Great job passing it and finding the open guy and recognizing their double team (on Gray), which we knew they were going to do.
anxious guys longer ready
I know the guys are anxious to play. I don't know how much longer we can wait. The guys want to play. I'm ready to play. It's been awhile.
guys inside looked paper people
I know when people looked at our inside guys on paper before the season, they wouldn't be in awe. But I always told people we were going to be all right.
believe happen immediate knew lend obviously success timing
I knew she'd have success. I knew it was going to happen, but obviously didn't know it would happen this quickly. The timing did not lend one to believe there would be immediate success in the first year.
knowing looks
I like the different looks we can give. I like our guys' minutes. They're always out there knowing what they're doing.
forward looking respond
I'm looking forward to see how we respond to this challenge.
date graduate kids losing lost past points position problems reached talking
It's more up to date but there's still problems with it. This past year, we lost kids who had already graduated. You're talking about losing points when you've reached your goal. We put our kids in a position to graduate early, and we're being penalized. That's flawed.
