clock flawless game hitting needed played running shot tough
They made every shot they needed to even if the shot clock was running down, hitting tough ones. They really played about a flawless game from my perspective.
attack believer defend point team weapons
They made a believer out of me. They have so many different weapons to defend that can attack you. Every team you play at this point is pretty good. But they are really good.
beat bomb kept telling
They kept telling me on the bus, 'The bomb isn't going to beat us, coach.
ball beat count foul good hands hard late quick shooter
He's really smart, really quick and I think he can beat you in different ways. He's such a good foul shooter that when he's fouled, it's hard to not count those as two points. ... We want the ball in his hands late in the game.
guy karl mean plays
He plays like Karl Malone tonight, I mean the guy was phenomenal, just an unbelievable game. He was the difference, there was no question.
iron man version
He's the man of steel, no question. He's our version of Lou Gehrig. He's the iron man; he never comes out.
games needs sometime though
I do think he needs to come out of the games sometime even though I never take him out. He would be better.
hard pace prepare team
I don't want to take anything away from Birmingham-Southern, but they're a very hard team to prepare from in one day. It's hard to get them out of the pace they want to play.
carry chuck davis high hurt knows level load obviously
He's obviously had to carry more of the load when (senior forward) Chuck Davis got hurt. He knows he has to play at a high level for us to have a chance.
basketball lying team
We have a great chance to be an NCAA basketball tournament team if we take care of business night in and night out in our league. Records are deceiving. You can schedule your way into a 10-1 or 11-0 record. I have learned that you're not going to trick the NCAA tournament selection committee.
basketball coaching hearing
Hearing improves with PRAISE!
basketball team vision
Have a vision. Sell your program. Your team is going to reflect you.
players sure talk
I'm not going to talk about it (to the team), and I'm not sure our players will, either.
chance decided hard players proud themselves
I'm proud of our guys. I think our players just decided to rally, play hard and do everything they can to give themselves a chance to win.
