One of the refs commented to me how hard they were trying. That's nice to hear. Tony Davis' effort was phenomenal. Leaders do that, and it carries over.

One of the referees even commented to me about how hard they were trying.
coach gone people proud sorry
I was sorry that the crowd, some of the people booed him, that's never what any coach would like to see happen. I want to coach him and I want to make him better and I don't want him to have to go through what he's gone through. I really was proud of the way he acted.
finding francis imagine playing reason together
I wouldn't imagine that Marbury and Francis would be comfortable not playing a lot of minutes. We're also finding out if they can play together and so far, I don't see any reason why they can't.
players wish
I wish this would get over. It's really about the players and us getting better.

I'm amazed at the restraint (Davis) had. I'd like to put Stu Jackson or (NBA commissioner) David Stern in that situation and see how they'd react. He'd have been in a lot more trouble if he went home that night and hadn't done anything.

I looked out there and it looked like a lot of guys just didn't care. That's tough, but you gotta keep finding the people that do (care) and hope you have enough of them.

air ball call guess guys invent jumping people rest running shooting walk year
I look out there and I just think we're running up and down the court. I see guys jumping up in the air and if they don't have something, they try to invent plays. I guess we probably have to walk the ball up the rest of the year and call a play, see if we can keep people from shooting 57% and getting 120 points.
battling benefit crazy effort hope kids situations
I look out there and Channing was battling like crazy with 14 rebounds. His effort was great. You hope kids benefit in situations like that.
