blessed coach coaches good happens happier people players privilege taught time
I've been blessed with the players I've had the privilege to coach as well as with coaches that have taught me. I know every time something good happens to me, those people are happier than I am.
aggressive coming heard people
Coming in the league, a lot of people have heard he wasn't aggressive or physical, and with all rookies, he'll be challenged,
direction moving people positive
We don't see it as a crisis, we see it as really moving in a positive direction for the people we serve.
bring brought guys key people
We had a lot of guys that didn't bring it tonight. And they had a lot of people that brought it. We had a lot of key guys that were just out there.
against building feels good guys people road team win
We had a lot of guys contribute. To win one on the road against a pretty good team is a good feeling. ... People don't win in this building much, so it feels good.
acted break easy front games keeping last letting people pull six
We just acted like we wanted to get home. We have games like this. We've had a lot of them. You really break the film down and show the last game, just five, six minutes. You can pull out any film; they're all the same - letting (teams) take the easy basket, not getting back on defense, not keeping people in front of you.
gave lack loose near people points terms
We gave up 35 points on turnovers and I don't think we got near a loose ball. I think most of that was effort. We can point to a lot of people in terms of lack of effort.
against almost front good guard job keeping people plays script trouble
We can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. We have trouble keeping people in front and it's almost like people script plays against us.
across everybody people trying value win
I don't know what people can do yet in a lot of cases. What I'm trying to get across to everybody is, this is what we value as a group, and this is how we can win games. We're trying to see who's on the same page.
came cautious flu gave people permission stay worse
I got the flu and some people thought it was worse than that, so Lisa was being cautious and told me to stay away, Isiah told me to stay away, and when she gave me permission to come back I came back.
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 gotta guys hope looked people
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.
