affect change coach hopeful lifestyle maybe resolve walk whether
It's not something I enjoy, but it's not going to affect whether I can coach or not. It's not going to make me walk away from doing this. But I'm hopeful maybe we can resolve this so I can change my lifestyle a little bit. But there is nothing that I have that can keep me doing from what I want to do.
guard looked points
It's the same old same old. We can't guard anyone. They got 33 points on the break. It looked like that could have had 100.
guy guys odd player until worried
It's odd when you see a big-name player (on the market), but I'm not worried about that until I see the guy on our team. I've got to think about how I can make these young guys better.
focus guys suit
It's over, in my mind. My whole focus is that I've got 12 guys that suit up and 15 guys on the team, and we have to try to get better.
athletic basketball believe bobby david defend good handle people
David has a lot of the things Bobby had. He's athletic, he can rebound, he can run, he can handle it pretty well. The more he does it, the more I believe he'll be able to defend people because he is athletic and he has quickness. He has good basketball intelligence. He's unselfish.

David came in and gave us a lot of life.

That is a man concerned about his family...I don't blame him and I don't think anybody blames him.
bring guys imperative key league players successful veteran
It's imperative that your better players bring it every night. I don't think there's any way to be successful in this league with just young kids. You need veteran leadership. Sometimes it comes from guys who don't play, but for the most part it has to come from the guys that are the key players.
people understand
It's important to me that you give something back to our sport, ... and people here understand the right way to play.
beaten shared
It was like the JV and the varsity. I think they could've beaten us by 50 the way they executed and shared the ball.
against beaten
It was like the JV against the varsity. I think they could've beaten us by 50.
fact guard hard phenomenal shooting watching
I've just been watching him all year. He's had phenomenal nights, phenomenal shooting nights. He had it going and the fact is it's hard to guard a lot of these perimeter guards.
confidence guys high minutes night playing sensitive stop trying
I've had confidence we were going to be better, but I didn't know who to play. I think you get sensitive trying to find out who's going to get minutes each night and you stop coaching. A lot of guys have contributed and are playing at a high level.
figure passion
I've got to figure out a way to get some passion.
