felt school watching yard
I felt like I was watching a school yard game.
basketball coaching lucky talented team tried
I find myself very lucky to have this job, and I just want to go out and do it. Coaching in the ACC is privilege, and I've tried not to look at it as a hardship. This is a talented basketball team we have. We shouldn't be 3-8, but we are. We've got to try to do something about it here down the stretch.
coming defending game job knew line obviously
We knew coming into the game that defending the 3-point line was going to be a big part of our job and obviously we didn't do that very well.
impact lucky recruiting stay
You have to get lucky in recruiting and stay injury-free. There are just so many things that can impact your success, it can really be out of your control.
boxing chance leave transition
When you don't do the little things - the boxing out, the transition defense, all the things you have to do - you leave it to a chance or you leave it to a bounce.
game improving month step took until
This was the first game in about a month where I don't feel like we took a step forward. We'd been improving every game up until today.
beat wide
We said if someone's going to beat us, let him be the guy. We didn't want him to be that wide open, but they have a lot of shooters.
air ball force job mario point touches west
We need to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands. That's something we did not do well in the Air Force game. It's something we made a point of today, especially with Mario West out, to try to get him more touches and more involved. I still think, actually, he can get some more shots.
mistakes obviously played
We obviously played pretty well for the first 35 minutes. But we made some mistakes and some breakdowns we just couldn't overcome.
equation games panic
We can't panic. We have a lot of games left. Panic can't be a part of the equation here. We have to keep working at it.
begins ends good role scoreboard successful understand
The good ones understand that their role begins and ends with the scoreboard. The scoreboard will tell you if you've been successful or not. That's it.
awhile taking toddler trying
It's taking awhile to get off the ground. We're still really in the toddler phase; we're still trying to find our legs.
credit floor freshman kid last remember run saw time works
That kid can really run the floor, and you have to give him credit. He works very hard. I can't remember the last time I saw a freshman run the floor that hard.
blessed realize
It just makes you realize how blessed you are.
