fact missed record scoring start
The scoring record is impressive. The fact he's never missed a game, never missed a start is more impressive.
alert chances energy good half home level missed points second spot team
I didn't think our energy level was very good defensively. We weren't very active. We just weren't alert defensively. In the second half I think we were more alert, and they missed some shots. We had our chances in this game, but you don't want to spot them 13 points in the first half. This is a team we can beat, especially on our home court.
good job
They always do a good job on Daniel.
athletes giving guy hear level money parents seldom
The swimmers were thrilled. It was a really heart-felt moment. Some of the parents were in tears. You hear about athletes but very seldom do you hear about them giving back at that level. That's a significant level of money for a guy that doesn't make a lot of money.
good shot
You don't know if you're going to get that good a shot again. He's a good shooter.
coach somebody
You have to rethink, can you play somebody in? As a coach that was the challenge.
build chance gives help means question team trip worse
There's no question it'll help us. If we end up being bad, it means we would have been even worse without it. The trip just gives you a chance to build team cohesion, something you can't get any other way.

I was thinking he would take shots we would win with. He kept hitting them. There is a toughness about him. He can win a game. He started doing that.

We were losing the guy we play off probably 60 percent of the game.
We'll be able to see if we've improved.

We haven't been able to separate all year. The last two games we lost on the last play.

Unbelievable. They had high self-esteem. That's what prevailed for us.

We called a couple little deals for him to get him going. It's a process. You get confidence by having success.

It's something he feels he didn't get and he feels it needs to happen. He has the idea and vision to do it.
