hard score unselfish
He has to be able to score for us some. We can't play 2-on-5. It's hard when you can't score from every position. He's an unselfish player, but sometimes being unselfish can be selfish.
brightest foul stretch
We're small. We have to play aggressively. We can't back off because we're too little. We don't play the brightest by any stretch of the imagination. We just make some plays. If I had any hair, it would be out. We foul way too much. All of that has to do with us being small. We really have to play that way, but we have to be smarter.
ball finish kids percent putting success
We are doing 80 (percent) of things right and just can't finish the 20 percent - and that is putting the ball in the basket. It is frustrating for the kids but we have to go through this. It's a prerequisite for success down the road.
aggressive ball offensive score struggle
We need to have him score for us. We struggle to put the ball in the basket. He's got to be very aggressive on the offensive end, which he was tonight.

We could never really get it to that point where we made it interesting.
needed shoot
We needed them to shoot because we needed to get into the game. But they were making them.

When you're struggling, you don't have a lot of senior leadership to pick people up. They're forced to play a lot of minutes. Instead of watching somebody in front of them and being apprentices, they've got to play.
chances game played until win
We played well enough to win the game - we just couldn't get it done. We had chances until the end.
doubt eye needed win
A win helps, no doubt about it. There's just a different look in their eye when you win. We needed to get this one.
ball difficult
That's what they do. They make it difficult to get the ball inbounds.
explain
There's many challenges. We'd be here for 10 years if I wanted to explain all of them.
guys played
The guys hurt. It's frustrating. We played well enough to win. We just couldn't get it done.
chances guys hurt level until
The guys are hurt and frustrated. We just can't get it done. We had chances up until the end. The disappointment level is up there.
