coach hesitation key playing
I had no hesitation playing him in a key spot.
ahead basketball best intense listen
His best basketball is ahead of him. I'm intense and I yell, and I just think he had to get used to my tone. I tell him not to listen to my yelling, but to what I'm saying.
basketball good invited
I know that if Doug invited us here, he has a good basketball team.
night seems somebody step
That tip-in was big. That was probably his career-high (in scoring), too. It's been a different person every night for us; somebody always seems to step up.
care emotions games practice sports
They're all lunch-pail kids. They come to practice and they play the games with little emotion. They just like to take care of business.
against caught expect lightning team total win
This is a total shocker. You don't expect to come in here and win like this, especially against a team of Plainfield's caliber. We just caught lightning in a bottle.
both charles ends evolved figure floor followed forces game involved jump lead living men naturally paint second since trying
Offensively, we were living and dieing with the jump shot. We were trying to figure out a way to get our big men more involved and it kind of evolved naturally in the second Plainfield game when Charles (Miller) was working real hard. Mohammad Wilkerson (6-6 junior) followed Charles' lead and those two have become forces in the paint on both ends of the floor ever since to give us a new look.
pressure wing
Pressure, pressure, pressure. We want to pressure the ball, pressure the wing and pressure the inside.
believe best chance next player
I believe he has a chance to be our best player next year.
continue defense half halftime kids seemed shoot shot took win
It seemed like every shot we took in the first half went in. But I told the kids at halftime that we couldn't continue to shoot like that and that defense was going to have to win it for us.
changed charles harris last miller personnel played starting team time totally
The last time we played them, we were a totally different team. Ahmad Harris wasn't even playing, Charles Miller wasn't starting . . . our whole personnel and mind-set have changed drastically. But they're a better team too.
