confident felt help playing talked twice work
We talked and he wasn't getting enough work here. He told me we're playing a lot of games, we've been traveling. He told me he could work out twice a day, and he's done it before and he really felt confident that this would help him.
control good playing running
We're playing under control better. We're not just running up and down the court. I feel good about everybody's contribution.
bit control extra good guys open playing running seems steve
We're playing under control a little bit better and not just running up and down the court. When you've got guys like Jalen and Steve who will make the extra pass, it just seems to open it up for everybody. I feel good about everybody's contribution.

We've got to take care of the basketball and take good shots. They just don't get it.

Nah, that had nothing to do with it. I'm not going to comment any further on it. I'm just happy he worked hard and, you know, he had a great practice today. Hopefully we'll build on that.

My whole thing I ask him to do every night is to bring energy. His man played with unbelievable energy. I want him to play like Sammy.

My responsibility is to try to coach everybody and try to make everybody better. And when you find out that there's some that don't want to buy in, then you've really got to move on.
coaching guy left shape team worse
Look, I've been coaching how many years? A long time. I never left a team in worse shape than I got it. Not once. Think about that. Think about me and think about the guy who's talking.

Matter of fact, I spoke to him today and he wanted me to write down what kind of makeup of the team we would like - what kind of guards, forwards and centers.

If there is a problem that's coming up, it's a forum where that kind of a problem can be addressed and worked through.
bounce confidence games hitting lost period rookies shot since
I think all our rookies are kind of going through a period now where they're kind of hitting a wall. I think their confidence is probably shot a little bit, since they've lost more games now than they've probably lost in their whole career. They'll bounce back.
deal family generally girls great guys motivated pride proud truly within
I think our guys are generally motivated within themselves, but we have a great deal of pride in our school. We're proud of what the girls have done, and we're proud of what we've done and it's truly a family over here.

I just think he's a darn good prospect, ... He's only going to get better.

I just love the effort tonight. But when you don't have the win that makes it tough.
