based driving easier finishes games good job lane offense reads running training
It's unbelievable how he finishes games off. We're running an offense that's all based on reads, and I've got to do a better job of training him so those reads are easier for him. The offense is a driving offense - we're going to get in the lane at some point. And it's been really good for us.
gets miss
Darius was ridiculous. He didn't miss a shot, folks. He gets 21, and you wouldn't even know it. Was that the softest 21 you've ever seen? Unbelievable. He's legitimate.
coached locker played quite room somber visions winning
That's quite a somber locker room in there. They had visions of winning this whole thing. It's not one guy. We played bad, I coached bad, it's everybody.
good happy
It was a pretty good effort, and I was happy with some of the spurts we had.
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.
arrogance beat everybody gets help swagger
Not an arrogance, because that gets away from you. The swagger that says, 'You may beat us, but you better come out swinging.' But it is not his swagger, it is our swagger, and he has to get everybody believing. 'Can (Washington) help me be that way?'
great league win
It was a great win for them, a great win for our league and for their program. We may play them one more time.
crazy lucky
It was one of those crazy, crazy games. We're lucky to get out of here alive.
biggest caught energy last missed shooting week
The biggest thing I told (Anderson) is that he can't get caught up in the shooting and scoring. He got tentative last week because he missed some shots. We don't need (him) to make shots. We need (him) to do the energy stuff.
biggest dove game missed
The biggest play for me was when Darius missed the 3, then dove for the ball. We're up (six) and that's the game right there.
best bit teams
The best teams I've had had a little bit of a swagger,
seen since stuff tried
It wasn't one of our better performances. I thought we tried to play hard. I thought we competed, but we did stuff that I haven't seen since the first of the season.
crisis last meetings team year
It was a team in crisis. Meetings do nothing. Last year we had a crisis every other week.
coming guys high kids leadership older putting serving teach understand
I want him to understand he's just part of this team, ... For most kids coming out of high school, they were the team. Most of these kids think leadership is everyone serving them. Leadership is you serving everybody. So we're putting him in with older guys who can teach him things.
