basketball kids shoot time yelled
I've actually yelled at kids from a basketball purist standpoint. I don't want to see a kid shoot the ball every time down the court. It's disgusting.
basketball following ourselves percent shooting
We don't play basketball to give up 65 percent shooting in a half. That's why we put ourselves in the hole. We didn't following our scouting.
great guy knew mix shooting somebody worry
We knew we were going to get somebody like this. They have the big guy in the middle. But I don't know if they're a great shooting team. We'll have to mix it up. We've got to worry about guarding (Davis). But he also has to worry about guarding us.
feeling giving good guys shoot throwing
You don't shoot in the 40s by just throwing it up there. I'm giving you guys a good feeling of New York.
anybody died finishes high league offensive player rebounds school shoot surprised talents tried
Anybody in our league would have died to have him out of high school. He does all the little things. I don't think anybody really tried to see what his offensive talents are. He can shoot from 15 feet, he rebounds and finishes around the basket. I'd be surprised if he wasn't a double-double player for us.
great heck moves player pose rebound shooting
He's a multifaceted player, and he moves well for a player his size. He has a great shooting touch, and he'll rebound the heck out of the ball. ... He'll pose a big challenge.

And they all need a little time on the (psychiatrist's) couch. Along with Coach.
against guys lead looked missed open period says second size team took wore zone
I think this team wore us down with their size, especially in the second half. We had a period when we got some open looked and missed it. That is when they took the lead and never relinquished it. It says a lot about our guys when a team that size has to play zone against us.
banner couple happy involved last leaving love players special stuff
I'm so happy for these guys. I love all my players but this is special with all the stuff we've been involved with over the last couple of years. ... They're leaving a banner behind.
caught definitely four games second
Four games really caught up to them. You could definitely see that in the second half.
good guys intensity rest worked
If we play like this the rest of the way, we'll be in good shape. We had good intensity and were physical. It wasn't easy. The guys worked their butts off.
terrific
If they don't get into the NIT, they should do away with the NIT. They're a terrific team.
anybody disrespect win
If they really want to win this tournament, they'll win it. It's no disrespect to anybody else. If they're all on the same page, it could be scary.
anyone disrespect team win
If they want to win this thing, they will. No disrespect to anyone else but this team can be scary.
