describe found great relax second sign time using word
I don't think I've ever used the word grind, but I've found myself using that word a lot to describe this season. There was just never a time to relax this season. There was not one second to relax. But that's the sign of a great league.
found game great grind guys positive rather relax season time using word
I don't ever think I used the word grind about a season and I found myself using it at the end of this one. There was never a time to relax and that's a positive for a great league. We never had to get our guys ready. I'd rather have it that way when every game was a big game.
cannot great guys ready relax sign time worry
There was never a time to relax. That's probably a positive, a sign of a great league. We never had to worry about our guys being ready for a game. You cannot relax one second.
biggest came challenge game high lead matter needed prior randy ready relax school special team until watch
He did that his whole high school career. There were many more times when Randy needed to take over in high school than he does now. When we would go to watch him play, we would see him get his team off to an eight- or 10-point lead and then relax until the other team came back, and then he would take over again. He did that his whole high school career. It?s been our biggest challenge with him, but it?s also what makes him such a special player. No matter what went on prior in the game, when the game is on the line, he?s ready to take over.
al doctor great looked report worse
We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision.
best gather handled impressed incredibly season sit wants
We will sit down when the season is over and we will gather all the information, and there is no one that wants what's best for him more than any of us. I have been incredibly impressed with the way he has handled this.
loving students
The students are all yelling, 'Final Four, Jay,' ... It's fun. We're loving it.
coaches earn high honor obviously regard
Is that with an asterisk? ... It's an honor because obviously the coaches have a high regard for our players. Now we have to go out and earn it.
Right now we're No. 3, so I like it.
familiar
Pretty cool. I think that all of us are pretty familiar with each other.
ball control played second spread
Offensively, in the first half, I thought we played all right. Also, we just couldn't control Quincy. Second half, I thought we spread the ball out pretty well.
billy group incredible job year
Billy (Donovan) has done an incredible job getting this group together. I think what we all see in them this year is an outstanding team. They just really play off each other.
game ran understand
I wanted him to understand we ran that play for him with the game on the line.
believe shoot start unless
I wanted him to shoot more. I said, 'I'm not going to start you unless you shoot.' Believe it or not, he's unselfish.
