caught coaching expected games hope people race trying won
I never expected this. But again, I don't get caught up in records. It's disappointing, obviously, that we've only won 19 games and we're not in the race for the playoffs, but the only thing you can keep doing is trying to get better, keep coaching and hope that people understand.
defend hope players willing
I hope we get players in here who want to defend and we keep the ones who have that as a priority. I think that's the only way you can win. Generally, if a guy's willing to defend, he's going to be unselfish, he's always going to play hard, and he's probably going to have unbelievable character.
hope players
I hope we get players in here who want to defend. And keep the ones who make that a priority.
hope players
I hope we get players in here that want to defend. I hope the players we keep, that's a priority.
hope
I hope there's a lot more like him. We'd all be better for it.
badly good happy hear hopefully hurt last ready serious spoke time
I'm happy to hear he's not really hurt as badly as he could have been. I spoke to him today. This would have been a good time for him, the last 16 games. It's not something that serious and hopefully he'll be ready for the summer.
amazing character coached guy guys hopeful locker presence role room value wants
I'm hopeful he wants to be here and be part of this. His role won't be the same as when I coached him, but he is such a character guy and has such a presence in the locker room that his value will be amazing ... I was with Tony, and you won't find many guys better than him.
badly beat behind hopefully inside james presence somebody
Not having Eddy and Jerome James is everything. You see how badly we get beat if somebody drives. We have no shot-blocking, no inside presence on defense. Or offense. So it's huge. But hopefully all that's behind him.
guys hope pick reminding veteran
You hope that you have some veteran guys who will pick them up, and as a coach, I have to keep reminding them of that. But it's difficult.
hope talk watching
You hope by watching it that they'll do something about it. It's kind of befuddling right now because we talk about the same things over and over again.
butler chance giving good guys hope jackie kid lose minutes particular playing somebody win
You guys want me to play the young guys and Jackie Butler has been pretty good. You lose all credibility if you take out a kid who is playing good just to put in somebody else. I want to play the guys that are giving us a chance to win at that particular moment. My hope is that Eddy Curry can play 40 minutes every game.
awhile beginning hopefully next rest shut sudden time
Dr. Callahan told me let's shut it down awhile and give him some time to rest because he hasn't done anything (like this) in two years, ... It's a lot different than working out on your own and then all of sudden being in this kind of environment. So we're going to shut it down a little bit. Hopefully he'll be back the beginning of next week. We'll know a lot more then.
ends fun hopeful names period soon
That's not my place. I'm hopeful this ends soon because it's never any fun to go through a period like this and read your names in the paper.
honestly hopefully sooner
I don't know when I will be back. Hopefully it'll be sooner than later, but I honestly don't know.
