factor fatigue good help reasons
I use it to help them get hungrier. There are reasons for that (domination in Reno). They're good and there's the fatigue factor (playing at Reno's 4,500-feet elevation).
coming defense early guys hard helping junior recovers tracking
Early in the season, there was a lot of separation, because he didn't think defense coming out of junior college. Now he's right with the guy, tracking hard and getting out in him. And our big guys are helping him, and he recovers better than he did.
game help lost ready though
Even though we lost the game (to Penn), I think it will help us get ready for the league.
cling fatigue helping instead man playing team tendency
When that fatigue hits, you have a tendency to cling to your man instead of helping and playing team defense.
bench change energy games help struggled
If we do change it, Ahmet can give us a lot of energy off the bench. There have been some games where our bench has struggled to give us points, and I know Ahmet can help there.
closer help teams
The new teams are all closer so that should help a little.
couple everybody help home plays practices
I don't know if it makes a difference, because everybody plays better at home in this league. But we'll still get a couple of practices in so that should help us a little bit.
bring guy hard help works
If every guy who comes back works hard and improves, and if we bring in recruits who can help us right away like we did this year, we'll be fine.
loss second tied
It was very important. We're tied for second on the loss side.
exactly game perfect
It was a perfect game for us. This is exactly what we needed.
couple games gotten kept led lost question seniors starts time top work year
The seniors have led the way, there's no question about that. There was a time during the year when we lost a couple games that they could have gotten down, but they never did that. They just went to work and really kept it going. It all starts at the top with the leadership.
coaching focused pleased remember stayed staying team time
I've been coaching a long time and I really don't remember one where we trailed the whole time. But I was pleased with my team for staying focused the whole time. We just stayed there and stayed there.
tv worst worth
The worst part about it is that payback game. And when you don't get a TV game, it doesn't feel worth it.
dunk kids
The way kids think today, a dunk is a big thing. They all want to do it.
