chance hold win
I said if our perimeter could hold up, we would have a chance to win the game.
cautious laid people
People are cautious because two big things are laid on this week: OPEC and IAEA meetings.
adjustment dave kevin played since starting
Kevin is very comfortable on the court. He's been starting since he was a freshman. Dave and Brent played well for us, but it's an adjustment for them.
college drafted either high kids prep school window year
I think it does nothing. It's window dressing. You either come to college for a year or you go to a prep school. How many high school kids got drafted anyway? A handful? So I don't think it does anything to help.
ability bigger execution guard guy mitchell needed ourselves physical rhythm seemed struggling
I think the ability of Felix to guard Darrel Mitchell as he did -- a bigger guy, a physical guy on Darrel -- we never really got ourselves in a rhythm on offense. It seemed like to me we were always struggling on offense. For the most part, our execution wasn't where it needed to be.
comfort deal friction language terms understand zone
I think they have a comfort zone in terms of personalities, where they understand each other and there's no friction ever. Sometimes I think they're disagreeing with one another too much and they say, 'Coach, that's OK. We've done this for years.' I have to back off. They have their own little language how they deal with each other.
athletic course fortunate man player plays pleasure season team throughout
He's a long athletic young man who is a pleasure to coach. And he's energized our team throughout the season with plays like that throughout the course of a game. We're fortunate to have a player like that on our team.
coaching junior likes special
He's a special freshman. He's like coaching a junior already. He soaks it up like a sponge. He likes being here.
block confidence defense flash gives great guy lane needs
He's got great timing. Sometimes he needs to be more disciplined because if you flash your eyelids he's going to get up off the floor. But it gives your perimeter defense a lot of confidence when you have a guy back there in the lane that can block it at any time.
ball determine knew throw
His pre-reads would determine where he would throw the ball. He knew where he was going to throw the ball before it was snapped.
almost call consistent embraced guard miss point says shot silent special struggling
He's a special player. I call him the silent assassin, because he never says a word. But he'll get you. He's just as consistent a person as I've been around. He's blossomed at point guard after struggling early. He's embraced that roll. He almost didn't miss a shot tonight.
question
He's been hampered by that a little bit. But there's no question that we wouldn't be where we're at now without Darrell Mitchell.
bunch conference factors happen hopefully winning
Hopefully this will happen a bunch more in the future. But a lot of factors go into winning a conference championship.
anybody came envisioned five high man pick projected room sitting top
When he came out of McKinley High School, I don't know if anybody in this room would've envisioned that this young man would be sitting here right now as a top five projected pick in the NBA.
