build five goes start took wiped
It goes without saying, we start all over, we start from scratch. It's unfortunate that what took five years to build was wiped away with one season.
deep defenders shoots surprises
He shoots it from very, very deep. I really think he surprises some of the defenders with how deep he can shoot that basketball.
coaches gotten handle kids listens skill tough works
He's gotten better every year. He's one of these kids that listens to his coaches and works on his game. He's tough to handle because of his skill and size.
definitely earn guys looking role starting three
He's going to have to earn (the starting job). I don't think you give a role that important, you don't just give it away to somebody. He's definitely one of the two guys, three guys we're looking at.
capable earn goes good guard handle hard point role starting tendency
He's going to have to earn it. I don't think, for a role that important, you just give it to somebody. I feel like I have a good handle on what he's capable of from a basketball-playing standpoint. But there's a lot more that goes into the starting point guard role for our team. I have a tendency to be hard on those guys.
basketball excellent name people somewhat team
We may not have one name that people can latch on to, so we're somewhat nondescript. But this has been an excellent basketball team the whole season.
coaching energy entire locker obviously reason room second seem start type
For this entire streak, for some reason or another, we just can't some out of the locker room with the type of energy we need. As I told the guys, it's obviously something we're doing as a coaching staff. We just can't seem to get things going at the start of the second half.
coach disagree
He had the call. I'm not a referee. ... Every coach is going to disagree when it doesn't go their way.
floor freshman hurt last remember run saw time
He hurt us really, when you look back at it, on second-shot opportunities and transition. I can't remember the last time I saw a freshman run the floor that hard.
beat free hook shoot shots throws
He'd shoot free throws left-handed and still beat us. He'd make 17-foot hook shots and beat us in H-O-R-S-E.
air beyond feet knew players shots took
He made the shots that took the air out of us. Our players knew they had to be on him 10 feet beyond the 3-point line, but it didn't matter.
help kid maybe might relax takes
He might be pressing a little bit. He's a kid who really takes a lot on himself. Maybe this will help him to relax a little more.
georgia good liked night shoot
Thaddeus didn't shoot really well the other night, but the good thing about him is that he's not just a scorer. He can do other things, too. We also really liked his transcript. He's a Georgia Tech-type of kid.
heels stopped
I just think we stopped attacking. We started getting tentative, getting on our heels and used up all our timeouts.
