develop eight guys kids looked rotation similar worry worrying
We really have too many young guys right now. You look at Riley's team, he didn't have to worry about the ninth, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th guy worrying about playing. He had eight guys that he played. I don't even think he looked at the other seven. If we're going to be good, you've got to get down to a rotation similar to that and develop your young kids the right way.
beginning bit hopefully next ready shut week worry
We're going to shut him down a little bit. Hopefully, he'll be back at the beginning of next week and we'll know a little bit more. Hopefully he'll be ready to play. If not we'll worry about that then.
anybody change expect happy leave saw worry worst
You want me to leave him under the bus? Yeah, I saw the play and I saw it on the film. I'm not happy about it. It's not what you . . . you can't expect anybody to do that. But that's over. The worst thing I can do is worry about what happened. We've got to think about what we can do to change and get better.
aggressive carry certainly decision difference feels high level played playing since worry
I think to play him and have this thing carry on is really unfair. I want it to be his decision (to come back) when he feels comfortable he can play and not worry about getting hit, because he certainly hasn't played the same way since the injury. He's not aggressive at all. You can really tell the difference because he was playing at such a high level before that.
everybody few people quality retire screen society work worry
He is one of the few people that I don't have to worry about his workmanship. If everybody did the quality of work that Earl did, we would have a different society than we have. And he's not going to retire before he does my screen closure.
equate guys money worry
I don't worry about what guys make. You worry about the contribution they make to your team. That's the thing that's most important. Because guys are making a lot of money doesn't always equate to wins.
care holes taking worry
I don't look at it like that, ... I've been in holes before. My whole thing is to see if we can get better. That's the key. I don't worry about the record. I worry about us getting better. And if we get better, things usually have a way of taking care of themselves.
advantages against athletic caught playing score team tried
We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.
caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.
ball caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s.
chance stopping trouble
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.
advantage player team
What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?
people team
What's the criteria? Make your team better. Then look at the record, the people around them and then make a decision.
ball free gave hot missed throws turning
We missed some free throws that gave them a little life. We started turning the ball over. They (Indiana) got hot and we didn't have an answer.
