best career everybody guys hold looks physically shooter special spend
It's so special when guys spend their whole career with one team. (Reggie) still looks like he can play to me. I think everybody used to say that physically he wouldn't hold up. He's amazing. He's the best shooter I've ever been around.
eat everybody guys hockey partial room somebody special talk
The thing that always makes me partial to guys like him, all hockey players, is all they ever talk about is team. They room together. They eat together. And he's always been somebody everybody mentions as being such a special leader.
forward last playing special
Now we're playing for a championship. I look forward and not back, so this has been a pretty special last run.
everybody special
He's always been someone everybody mentions as a special player.
felt guy himself knowing looking looks loves perfect point special wants
I always felt if you get a big guy and a point guard, you got it made. And they were pretty special together.... Kevin, knowing him, he has no ego, he just loves to play and wants to win. I don't think he ever looks at himself as 'the man.' I think that was a perfect match. Looking back on it, it's kind of sad.
beat coaches college game special wonderful
He beat me in my first college game and made me feel good. He was a pretty special man. He was always wonderful to me. He's what all coaches should be about.
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.
gets painful
It's sore. It's going to be painful if he gets hit.
wind
It's not going to be as bad. The wind will be a lot lower.
