Jeff Gundy
care count deeply
I care very deeply about Eddie. I like him. We would like to count on him.
across self true
He's very comfortable in his own skin, ... That's his personality. When you're true to self like that, it comes across well.
anyone effort energy higher player position
He's a higher energy and effort player than anyone at his position in the league.
concerned confidence deer guy rather throw
I'd rather see a guy who has a lot of confidence than throw out that guy (who is) like a deer in headlights, ... I'm not really concerned with him right now.
basketball caring character easy good passing starts
I feel he has good basketball character, or we wouldn't have done it. Basketball character is important, and basketball character starts with working and passing and caring about your teammates. I think he does those things. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was, I think, the right one for us.
negative painted type
I don't want to get painted as a negative quote. I want to be positive. I'm a (glass) half-full type of guy.
weaknesses
I don't think they have many weaknesses. I didn't think they had many weaknesses before, either.
dedication few level profession
He's got a level of dedication to his profession that very few have.
fake start totally
How little we put in the game, from the start of the day to the end of the game, was totally uninspiring. We went through the motions, but didn't even fake it very well.
coach forward given hand job maximize time
I don't look any more forward than the time when we were injured. Your job as a coach is to maximize the abilities of what is on hand at any given time.
anybody judge public
I'm not going to judge him for public consumption on that. I don't think that does anybody any good.
everybody label maybe people type wants watch
If you watch him, he's anything but that type of player. That's how everybody wants to make him out to be. He's a low-turnover guy. He's sound. And yet, people still want to label him as that kind of guy. Maybe he can do that stuff. But he doesn't play like 'the Professor' out there.
ability against chance games hard last near obviously parts played player shooting team
I know we haven't played well enough or near hard enough the last two games to play well enough to have a chance against two first-place teams, and obviously not well enough from a shooting standpoint. But every player and every team is going to go through the ability to make or miss. That's why you need to have other parts of your game that are consistent, individually and as a team.
basketball capable dead inspiring playing tonight water
I know what inspiring basketball is. When we're dead in the water and we're not playing the way we're capable of, I'm going to say that. But tonight we were very inspiring.
