life-is grind
You've gotta learn to love the grind. Because life IS the grind.
basketball mother home
If I walk in a home and a kid disrespects a woman, his mother or grandmother, then I am out... I wont recruit them
basketball team together
It's not just about working hard, it's about working together. You have to care more about the team than you do about yourself
defensive game great hard rest
It was a great defensive effort. This game, the rest of the games, we've just got to make the game hard for the other team. We did that today.
played schedule sudden though tough
All of a sudden our schedule stinks, even though we've played these other tough games.
half missed near second
The first half we missed 14 two-footers. At some point, we've got to make those shots. In the second half we made them, but you've got to make the ones that are near the basket. You can't miss them all.
coming great guys news
The great news is that we have a lot of guys coming back and a lot of guys coming in. So for this program, yeah, you'd like to have some guys back. But it's about them at this point.
defensive game great hard
A great defensive effort. I always go with the same thing: We want to make the game hard for the other team, and we did today.
ball feet front grab means missed ton understand whether
You understand that means you have the ball two feet in front of the rim. Whether it was because of a bump, a grab or a hold, we were 13-for-36 (inside). We just missed a ton of them.
game hard hold prepare run
This is a hard game to prepare for. They run too much stuff, they hold the ball. Our guys, they have no idea they're not going to run with us.
bad chance ourselves win
You can't win this kind of game. To give ourselves a chance to win as bad as we were playing, I was stunned.
