basketball defensive playoff plays
That's playoff basketball. You've got to get it done on the defensive end and make plays down the stretch.
bench bonus plays
That's a bonus when the bench plays so well.
trouble
We're soft. If we don't toughen up, we're in a lot of trouble.
defense good importance team understand
I hope, at some point, we're all going to understand the importance of defense and how good a team we can be if we play defense.
checked good guys knew minute opposed record respected teammate weight
I put a lot of weight into being a good teammate as opposed to talent. From the minute he got here, he didn't big-time anybody. He got online. Checked out our team, knew our roster, knew our record and did a little research. I think guys respected that.
ball coach control figure guys records seen shoot talk team
If there's any coach in America, in the world, who could figure out how to control momentum, all of our records would be better than they are. (Momentum) is a phenomenon. Guys talk about being in a 'zone,' but I haven't seen a team shoot the ball that well for a game. It was impressive.
executing far involved less offense offensive soft
First and foremost, we have Anthony Goldwire back. With Goldy, I see us executing much better at the offensive end. I see everyone being involved in the offense and I see far less soft offensive possessions.
both kept
Both times he got up and kept playing.
although defend five four mix none pick roll seemed ways work
We have four or five ways to defend their pick and roll ? although none of them seemed to work the other night. We'll try to mix it up and try to make is so they don't even get into their pick and roll.
chance refreshed step
This will give us a chance to step away for a day or two and get refreshed and refocused.
attacked basket bonus night third
We only got into the bonus once, at the end of the third quarter. They called 26 fouls on us and 16 on them. We attacked the basket all night and were not rewarded.
worry
If that's something I have to worry about, we're in trouble. But honestly, I don't think that's a concern.
game great job learned
He's come a long way. He's learned a lot about the game and does a great job communicating with the other players.
confidence pick relatively seen
We'll give Brandon some minutes. I've seen him play and I have confidence he'll pick up what we're doing relatively quickly.
