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.
ball came point time
Every day, I put him more and more on the ball and try to get him more and more involved. I was teasing him yesterday, saying, 'When you came with me the first time (in Indiana), you wanted to be a point guard. Well, you're probably going to have your wish.
depends everybody guys handle heard knew michael time tried
It depends on who the guys are. I've heard Michael do it. Because everybody knew he tried to do everything the right way all the time I think they could handle it.
care control harder hope imperative playing realize though time
We've got to realize that you play differently in the playoffs. You've got to control tempo. It's imperative that you take care of the ball. You've got to play harder than you thought about playing at any time of the year, even though you hope that's a given.
basketball build city finally help time
Basketball started for me in this city and I want to be here when it's finally time for me to stop, ... I'm not here to retire. I'm here to help build something that will be around for a long time.
doctors gave possibly straight time
We gave him as much time as we possibly could, but the doctors aren't going to let him play if they think he's going to do any damage. So we'll just get straight about what's going on. From what they tell me, it's about pain.

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.
process time understand
I think we just sometimes don't understand how we get leads, and time and score. We're just young and this is the process you've got to live with.

He has a hard time looking at me sometimes because of how he might be perceived by certain people, but he listens to everything I say.
