best coach job league matt painter players
Matt Painter has done probably the best job of any coach in our league when you look at the players he lost.
game maybe next shoot
Maybe the next game I'll tell them to shoot all threes and they'll go inside.
bring coach disrespect players
I feel like that is disrespect for me as a coach. If I can bring players in recruiting-wise, why can't I coach them?
curse
I can't say anything about that. But I will say I did not curse or say anything disrespectful.
breaking came guys saying today top
With him breaking it on Saturday, it was devastating to him, and some of his teammates. When he came back, we were a Top 5 team, that's what (the players) were saying and feeling. I could kind of see it, our guys were down today without him.
bad broken certain couple spots wood
There are a couple of bad spots here and there. We were able to place certain things in there, but the wood that's broken will all be replaced.
care chance conference forget guys hear home people road second shame ten trying win
We've got a chance to win the conference if we take care of home and win some road games. I think sometimes people forget we're in second place, and it's a shame these guys have to hear and read what they hear and read. We're trying to win a Big Ten title.
basketball bought last talk team trying
This team is a better basketball team because this team has bought into what we're trying to do. But I can't talk about last year.
gun guys looked mind ready saw shoot taking time wide
This was the first time I saw guys kind of not ready to shoot the basketball. If we are wide open, I don't mind us taking 40 threes ... Our guys just looked a little gun shy.
basketball best commit good offensive seven silly
This was probably Marco's best game. He had seven offensive boards; didn't commit any silly fouls. That's the play that we need for us to be a good basketball team.
basketball best commit good offensive player serious seven
This was probably his best game. He had seven offensive boards. He didn't commit any serious fouls ... That's the player we need for us to be a good basketball team.
fit sure
You have to be very sure that you are getting the right size. If it's any millimeter longer, shorter, wider, it's not going to fit and it's going to look crooked.
along best far players top
Tucker is by far one of the top two best players in the league, along with (Illinois guard) Dee Brown.
game games lost road
You can just see it in their faces. It's not the same team. Because we lost one game or two games on the road and it was like the end of the year. When you think about that, it doesn't make sense. At all.
