hard positive seems spin though
When we started the season, even though we were losing, I thought we were making progress. Now, it seems like we're not making progress. It's hard to put a positive spin on it.
plays run seems start
It seems when we get into a fight, we start going too much as individuals. I didn't see us run many plays at all.
game happen love played seem thousand
A lot of things that happen off the court, that I don't think are big deals, here seem to be magnified a thousand percent. It's part of it. But that's why I love being here, because if you ever played the right way, our game will be better for it.
blocking good hard loose running seems setting watch
We watch every film and it seems like the same things are prevalent every night. Blocking out, getting loose balls, making hard cuts, setting good screens, running back.
five good last learn minutes points seem teaching
I was concerned. We made those last five minutes seem like a year. But there were a lot of good teaching points in that. We had breakdowns but managed to get a win. We can learn from it.
glad physically seems totally
Physically he got tired. He tried. He seems rusty, but that wasn't totally unexpected. I'm glad he got to play.
afraid continue everybody kids seems struggle
I think once we struggle it seems that it just snowballs, ... Our young kids continue to play hard; they're kind of fearless. I think everybody else seems like they're just afraid to make a mistake.
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.
fun loved played shared trying watch
I loved the effort. We shared the ball, and it was more fun to watch with them trying like they did. We played hard, and we played unselfishly. I thought we were ready.
game loved people tried
I loved the way he was aggressive, ... I loved the way he tried to get other people involved. I loved the way he tried to guard. I told the people before the game he would play great.
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.
struggled sure teams
I'm sure I've been 0-3 a lot, ... And most of my teams have struggled early.
audition guys stuff
I know what we have. You guys know what we have. There's no audition. That audition stuff has been over a long time.
amazing asked bad paid positive record
It's sometimes amazing to me, you see our record and you see how positive he is. I feel bad. I'm being paid a lot of money, I've been asked to do something, make changes, make us better, and I feel bad that it's going like this.
