bad drops gives guy pass surrounded three throw
I told him I had him for a triple-double: 11, 11 and 11. The statistician, when you throw that bad pass to the guy who's surrounded by three people, gives it (turnover) to the guy who drops it. I don't.
incredibly kid talented
I told him he has to be more assertive. He's an incredibly talented kid but a very young kid. I think at times he's unstoppable.
minutes waited worth
I told Rashad he only waited 38 minutes for that three. It was worth the wait.
allow early east offense physical played reminded took
It reminded me of a Big East game, probably back in the early 90s. (St. John's) took us out of our offense early, played us very physical and did not allow us to get into a flow.
believe hung truly win
I truly believe we win that game, particularly after the lay-up. There's no question, because it hung on the rim.
bit difference higher maybe providence somebody talented teams
The only difference between Providence and maybe somebody a little bit higher in the standings is the young kids. Providence is talented but they're young. Young teams make mistakes.
believes daily josh less progress
The person who believes less in Josh is Josh. It's a daily progress with him to get him to believe.
great kids normally voting
When I did my voting, it was very difficult. Normally I can get a better feel. But there were so many kids that had so many great seasons.
england face fortunate people walk walking
When I walk down with Cousy I'm walking in as the face of New England as the face of so many people who weren't fortunate enough to get into what I got into.
anybody difficult increased league quality taken teams truly
We've taken the quality of teams and just increased them in quantity. I don't think anybody truly understands how difficult this league will be day in and day out.
came finish fourth game games last league means playing somebody surprise three tough tournament
We did it, but it's tough to get all the way through. It won't surprise me to see somebody playing a fourth game in four days, the league is like that this year. This was the most games that came down to last three minutes, at least our most in 10 years and yet we were 27-2, which means we were there to finish the deal. But in a one-game tournament anything can happen.
control easy eventually fighting kentucky kept routes
There are no easy routes in this tournament. I thought we could eventually take control of this game, but Kentucky kept fighting back.
league seems wars
We're a new league, a league of 16. But this seems like the old wars of the '80s and '90s.
game instead next practice preparing proves time wait
This proves that you can't just show up in postseason play, because instead of going to practice and preparing for a game tomorrow, we have to wait a week. Next time we lose, we're going home.
