ball bringing fellow freshman friend game genius mine nba played realize remember team
I remember one game we played and the team was pressing us and I had him bringing the ball up the court. A fellow coach, a friend of mine called me and said, 'Either you're a genius or you're crazy. How do you have a 6-10 freshman bringing the ball up the court? Don't you realize that every NBA team will see that?
best coaching credit everybody guys men offer prepare punch staff worn year
They have to prepare for the best punch everybody has to offer every game. How those guys don't get worn down by it year after year after year is a credit to the coaching staff and the young men who come in and put on that uniform.
appreciate ball craig crunch smith unless watching
They know when it's crunch time, they've got to get the ball to Craig Smith or they're getting the ball to Jared Dudley. I appreciate watching them - unless you're on the other end of the bench.
earlier gifted last starting understand year
He's starting to understand some of the little things you have to do. He's a talented, gifted scorer who can rebound. Defensively, off the ball, he's much, much better than he was last year or even earlier this year.
I don't know if we wanted it, but Clemson wanted it more than us.

Certainly what we're discovering all over the world right now ? that the entire industrial world looks like it's poised to enter into a serious deficit problem.
care field good great rare works
He's unbelievable. It's rare to find such an all-around player. He's a good student, he's a good person, he's a great player, he works at his game, he's humble. I don't care what field you're in, it's rare to have a person that has that combination.
gotten
He's an outstanding player. The thing you like about him is that he's gotten better every year.
contest miss
He's not going to miss that shot. You've got to contest it.
against air continue defensive follow game held hold improvement last shot team three today
I continue to see improvement on the defensive end. Over the last three games, I think we're doing the right things. The last game against Air Force, a team that had shot 49 percent, we held them under 30, and to follow up today and hold another team under 30, I like the improvement there.
capable happen knew level rut talent work
I knew it was going to happen because I know his talent level and I know what he's capable of. But when he was in rut he was in, I didn't know if he was going to work his way out of it.
allow avoid couple effort games holding last level teams
The effort level the last couple of games was much better. We've started to get better at holding on to the ball, but we've got to avoid the rashes that we've had that allow other teams to go on a run.
comeback nice run
The comeback was nice - if you're just out there to run around. To me it had no significance.
concentration concerns fallen good maintained playing
The concerns I've had is that defensively we haven't maintained our concentration. We've had some good spurts of playing good basketball, but we have not maintained the intensity, especially on defense. That's where we've really fallen down.
