I think that is all anyone wants at the end of the day, to be appreciated. With the ovation that (Flip) had tonight, it is good to see him appreciated.
I think we're like four (games) behind Denver. If we can just get some sort of momentum...
Good; I can talk some (trash) to him. That's probably the reason he's not returning my phone calls. It makes a lot of sense.
He's definitely into it. Sometimes, he does look a little bewildered, but I don't think passion is in the back seat, so to speak. He's playing with a lot of heart, but at the same time, he's trying to figure it out.
When they started playing zone, it slowed us down, made us stagnant. It was effective and teams have been playing us pretty much straight up (man-to-man). I'm sure some other teams are going to watch this game, and they're going to do some of the same things. I know what we're going to work on tomorrow.
Giving up is very easy. To continue to work and to continue to compete is one of the most difficult things, especially in a rough environment when you really don't have anything to play for other than dignity.
If it's anything different from that, then, at the end-of-the-season discussion, we have to talk about it. I don't want to go through another season like this, to be honest with you.
He taught me to keep the guys together. The way you win championships is the chemistry you form with them off the field.
He has matured so fast. Probably because he's had no choice, given the position that he's in. He had to succeed. He had to be aggressive. It's been learn-as-you-go. He's handled it. He's maturing beautifully, and it's working out. So far, so good.
He was one of the very few people that I enjoyed being around, to tell you the truth, because he was just himself. I had a lot of private conversations about being who we are, being people, not being afraid of making mistakes.
He was one of the very few people that I enjoyed being around.
He just talked to me briefly, and I could tell right away that we were going to get along.
He just expressed his thanks for me reaching out to him and being honest with how I felt, and some more personal things. I have a lot of respect for the man.
Let me tell y'all something: Even though we've been losing and gone through some difficult times, man, we continue to keep our morale up. Our confidence has always been high.
