allow ask believe business chasing creep focused good handle outside stay ups week work
Ask me in a week or so and I'll tell you. I don't know. Sometimes I think I do, sometimes I'm not sure. I haven't thought about it much. I believe that if you work and you go about your business the way you need to every day, and if you keep focused and don't allow outside things to creep in and if you're chasing something and if you stay with it, handle the ups and downs, I think that some way, somehow, something good will happen.
ask beat guess remember thrown
I remember getting beat and getting thrown out of the game. I guess you will ask me why I got thrown out of the game. Is that what you want to get into?
aggressive ask believes block guy people stop
We ask him to be aggressive and block shots. He is just over anxious. He is a guy that really believes he can stop people from scoring.
asked great job
He's been great to me. He's always asked me what we could do to make my job better.
knew
I knew he'd make it back, ... He never pouted.
game next win
I just want to win the next game we play, and then the next one after that. All I know is, we can't let down.
four seven
It's not four out of seven or two out of three. It's a one-shot deal.
biggest consistency
The biggest thing we need right now is consistency.
attitude capable played trying
I want to see us play better. We haven't played as well as we are capable of playing, but we have the attitude of trying to get better.
anywhere confidence playing running screens
Once he got it going, we were playing off him, running him off screens anywhere we could. When they concentrate inside, he has enough confidence to get it going.
beat came desire doubt few glad guess next regular season since tournament using
I'm glad they said something like that. I'll be using that for the next few years. I guess we wanted it more during the regular season since we beat them and came into the tournament as the No. 1 seed. I don't doubt my players' desire one bit.
acted beat beaten looking team
I'm not going to take anything away from them because I thought they beat us in every way you could be beaten today. From looking at my team out there, I thought they acted like it was going to be (like the first game) again.
forced
I keep harping on turnovers. They forced some of those, some they didn't.
attempting daniel draft explore good players problem rule status
I have no problem with Daniel attempting to find out what his status may be in the upcoming draft. This is a good rule put in place for players to explore their draft status.
