late showing start
Hopefully, they'll start showing up on time. Showing up late to things is not the way to do it.
feet great hands paul turnaround
Paul is very intelligent. He's very skilled, has great hands and can do a turnaround jumper from 6 feet to 18 feet on the block.
losing sick
I get so sick of losing to these guys.
begging hard kid sean shot
He was the only kid that could make a shot. I was begging the guys, 'Give Sean shots.' It was hard to get him shots. When Sean banked the shot in, I really thought we were going to win. But they were just too good.
intelligence intelligence-and-intellectuals night plays simple tough
He had a tough night at Southern; it's as simple as that. He didn't play with the intelligence he usually plays with.
great job
He has become much better on the post, which they do a great job of coaching.
bit great himself needed past playing shape smarter
He's playing smarter than he has in the past. Kyle's made himself a little bit better athlete. He's been in great shape the whole time, which he needed to do.
four guy hands holding kept team telling whose
I just kept telling the guys, 'I don't know whose team that is out there, but it's not us on offense,'... Four of them holding their their hands up and one guy going one-on-one -- it was a little frustrating.
announce assistant calls coaches last phone soon
The last thing I want to do is take 25 more phone calls from assistant coaches (looking for a job). When I get an assistant coach, I'm going to announce it as soon as I can.
feet hurt improved remember spent time year
I remember back to the year he got hurt. He spent more time tripping over his feet than anything else. So he's improved a lot, and he's consistently improved every year.
night thrilled
I really don't know what to say. I'm thrilled with the win. We're 2-0 in the league, but every night is going to be a battle.
playing plug system
They've just been really playing well. I think they just keep the same system and plug him in there.
coach great win
They've got great players. Mac's a great coach, but you don't win without great players.
ad fans home kansas lost row run since state sure third took tremendous win won year
It's not a hump, it's a mountain. My AD knows. My fans know where we were when I took this job. My first year, we lost 11 in a row and I didn't know if we were ever going to win a game. My third year we were 3-3, and I wasn't sure I would keep my job. We lost at home to Kansas State and ever since then it has been a tremendous run to get where we are today. We accomplished something we haven't in 23 years, we won a championship.
