aspect basketball believe create decisions kids mature mistakes player represent school situation somebody team understand
Believe me, I understand the whole aspect that kids have to represent their team and their school and their family, but mistakes are going to be made. Because somebody is an 18-year-old basketball player doesn't create a situation where that person is going to make decisions that are any more mature than another 18-year-old.

We haven't changed anything. What I plan to do, probably around Oct. 1, is cut back on individual instruction and do more team stuff.

No disrespect to North Carolina, ... but this was no upset out here today. To be written off was kind of amusing to me. This team has played in big games, has won big games and demonstrated again it can still win big games.
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.

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?
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.
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.
based basketball build business coaches college dirty entity experience kids learn positive school sleazy spirit statement together
The statement that college basketball isn't a business -- let's be real here. It can be a business that can be a very positive experience for athletes, coaches, for schools. Kids learn responsibility, coaches learn how to put together a team, and administrators learn how to build some momentum, build a lot of school spirit based on that one entity -- the program. It doesn't have to be a dirty word, something sleazy to say it is a business.
basketball fifth grade high kids mature physically player rates school sixth time
It wouldn't make any sense because there's just too much time between fifth or sixth grade and the time a player is a high school senior. Kids mature at different rates -- not just physically but with their basketball skills.
