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.

They really were just bumping chest to chest, grabbing, pushing - and did a great job of it.

This has been an unbelievable year, no matter what happens. I did a better job of coaching last year than this year. What we went through last year, we can laugh, but I will not watch a tape from last year.

He made runners, he made them when they bumped him, he made them inside. He rebounded the ball. He did a fairly good job of defending. We (isolated) him about 10 straight times, and about nine of them, we got something good; either he scored or got somebody else something.

basketball bothered guard heck tape zone
The zone bothered us more than it should have. Our guard play was very tentative. I don't know why. ... We will have to go look at the tape and take a look at it. But, it was a heck of a basketball game.

There won't be any crime. There won't be any accidents, because nobody will be on the streets.

Enjoy it. Take a breath, kick back and enjoy. Because this doesn't happen every year at Memphis. It happens at Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and those other programs. It doesn't happen at Memphis.

During the season, every decision I make will be about the team. The second that season is over, it is all about the kids on the team.
