behind close contact feeling hands letting staying
Just staying behind him, not letting him make contact with you. Once he's feeling you for contact, that's when he can get his spacing. You just try to stay behind him. You try to stay close enough so you don't lose him, but not too close where he can get his hands on you.
defense great
He's going to make those shots. Even over great defense.
knock possibly shot tough
He's going to knock down tough shots, and you've got to make every shot as tough as you possibly can for him.
five freshmen good less locker room says settle team telling
He won't settle for mediocrity. He says we've got five freshmen on the team and things like that, but over and over in the locker room he's telling us that we're going to be a good team. We can't settle for any less than that.
coach five message obviously reason sent time
He just sent the message that obviously that five wasn't getting it done effort-wise. Any time a coach subs all five, you've got to know it's for that reason and that reason only.

It was just coming out and totally outplaying a team. We got outplayed in California and that's unacceptable, so we had to come back and play this hard tonight.

kids
Not many kids would have wanted to be in there.
ball difficult putting talent
If he's not putting the ball in, it's a little difficult for us. At the same time, that shouldn't be the case. We've got a lot of talent on this team, and we've got to put the ball in the hole.
knew shoes walked
The jitters went away when I put my shoes on and walked out there. I didn't have any jitters when I was out there because we knew what we were in for.
