allowed bad check class coach dna games manners ought stuff team throw wish
I wish there were some way we could check the DNA on some of these SOBs that are allowed to come to games and show bad manners and throw stuff at Duke's team -- a class coach and a class team. Why is it that we find that all over the country, not only in college, but in pros? You ought to be able to check the DNA of an idiot, and do something about it, so you'll not be able to see it again.
certainly game greatest home honored invited playing
It certainly is just outstanding that we get a home game after all of these years of playing in the NIT, and we are honored that we are invited to participate in one of the greatest all-time traditional tournaments.
game hold lost match minutes seven six
For us to hold them in the 50s with six or seven minutes to go, that's good. We just couldn't match them in baskets. The game was lost early.
game guy hurt stay struggled throughout ways
We struggled with one guy making baskets throughout the game and yet we were able to stay in there. But (Duke) has so many ways to hurt you.
approach coaches ended game positive season success trick win
You have to approach every game with a positive attitude. When we've had success in the tournament, we've always ended the season in a positive way. We need to win that first game to get over everything. Win that first game and then it's up to us as coaches to trick them after that.
five forgetting game instead passing role seem talent team telescope
In all my years I've never had a team that's had this much talent in five players. But they seem to see a game out of a telescope instead of binoculars. They don't see the whole floor. They're penetrating when they should be passing. They're passing it when they should be penetrating. They're forgetting the role of every player, and that's to communicate with one another.
game ugly win
Any game we win is an ugly win.
country course earned free game great per team throws
Of course they earned them. They make more free throws per game than any other team in the country attempts. That's because they're a great team.
foul nation shots team
This team makes more foul shots than any team in the nation has taken.
coaches commit convince easier eyes feels gain good kid lifestyle looks mike others sees tyson understand waiting
We go into neighborhoods as coaches and think we can convince a kid that 'son, if you get educated, you'll go to college, have a good job, a car,' ... That's bull. We don't understand that as he looks out of his eyes and sees Mike Tyson and others like him as heroes, he feels everything is instant. He thinks, I can gain a lifestyle without waiting 10, 15 years. It's easier to go out and commit a crime.
car drive tried
We tried to make them play faster. When you drive your car fast, you are going to get in more accidents.
floor guys learn maybe pay teach took win
We try to teach our kids. As much as I want to win a ballgame, I had two guys on the floor that I took off for that reason. Maybe they will learn a lesson. Maybe it will pay off for us later.
ball easily four nobody players shoots
Villanova could easily be No. 1 in the country. There's nobody that shoots the ball as those four players on the floor, not even Duke.
ball defense lead nation sooner translate year
We lead the nation in defense every year and it doesn't translate into wins. Sooner or later, you've got to put the ball in the basket.
