awful competing concerned control few fierce fortunate kid matt nice players quite special
Matt is a very special player. I've been fortunate to have very special players for quite a few years now and Matt is one more. Matt doesn't need much coaching. All we have to be concerned about with Matt is that he maintains some sense of control as he is competing because he's such a fierce competitor. He'll do anything to win, he's just an awful nice kid to coach.
defended fast foul hurt matt michael starters tempo trouble type
We had two of our starters down for most of the game. I thought they defended Matt (Weeks) well. It was a pretty physical, fast tempo type of game. Keith (Jones) in foul trouble hurt us, obviously. Michael (Warren) in foul trouble hurt us still.
enjoy light matter practice records season zero
We'll enjoy this tonight, have a very light practice (Saturday), we'll enjoy it. Monday, when we come in it's over.Everybody is back to zero and zero, no matter what their records are or what they've done all season long.
concerned conference matt tournament
Matt was always concerned about conference and tournament championships. He was never really concerned about all-conference selections or all-tournament teams.
bucket four good lead momentum next three
We regained the lead and regained the momentum and we had some pretty good looks. Even with the lead at 23-22, we had some good looks. We just couldn't get it to fall. You kind of had a sense that if we could ever get up three or four we'd be in really good shape. But, we just couldn't get that next bucket in.
improvement reason room weight work
The reason for his improvement was the work he put in in the weight room during the off-season.
foul free heck knock nice package player
Landers is a heck of a player with a nice package of skills. And if you foul him he'll knock down about 85-percent of his free throws.
bench kids moment played putting starting thick worry
Our kids off the bench, could be, should be starting and I don't worry about putting them into the fray, putting them into the thick of it. It's not, do I use them? It's, at which kid at which moment do I put them into the game. Our bench has played well for us all year.
decisions quick
We have to make better decisions. We need to know when to be quick and when to be patient.
assigned ball chance fast miss nearly push time
They will push the ball nearly every time down the floor. They will push on a make or a miss. When we miss they have a better chance of getting into their fast break. Defensively, we will have to communicate because sometimes we won't be guarding our assigned man.
defense time
It's not as if we didn't know Welch could shoot. Every time we made a run, our defense would let down.
illinois indiana played record schools seven south southern terms
They have played with some Indiana schools that would be in the South Seven in southern Illinois in terms of size. Their record is deceiving.
excessive kids knew passive pressure talk
It was very important and we did talk about it. We knew it was important, but I didn't want to put excessive pressure on the kids so they were passive on offense.
came ethic impressed learned letting lost might next positive practice ready room season taken took weight work
Someone told me that after we lost in the sectional final, Isiah was in the weight room for two hours. He might have been letting off some frustration or getting ready for next season. Hopefully, he'll use this season in a positive way. What impressed me about Isiah was the way he came to practice everyday. He took that from the seniors. He's taken their work ethic and learned that from them already.
