foul stayed trouble
I stayed with them because we were in foul trouble. I went as long as I could with it, and then went back to our big zone.
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.
accepted group improved practice roles skills stayed together
This group has probably improved through practice more than any group I've had. That's because they have the skills to do it, but they also accepted their roles and really stayed together as a team.
expected harder nevada stay win
He got my vote. You can say Nevada was expected to win the league, but sometimes it's harder to stay on top.
job man prepared sure
I'm sure they'll be prepared for it this time. We just have to do a better job with our man and keep them off balance.
grown hard held improve practice worked
They've really held together, grown as a team. They take coaching, they have worked hard in practice to improve their games, individually and (as a) team, and they like each other and play together.
game played schedule top tough
They've played a tough schedule and they've been in every ballgame. We have to be on top of our game if we want to win.
games win
This is it. We have to win some more games if we want to keep playing.
beating bit guess nevada performed watch
I'm embarrassed that you had to watch that and I'm embarrassed that we performed like that. You've got to give Nevada credit. I guess we stirred them up a little bit beating them at our place.
defense interior liked
I liked his defense. We haven't had interior defense like that in a while.
couple gave left minutes rest tight
I left him in there too long. I should have gave him a couple minutes rest, but it was such a tight game, I wanted him in there.
affect anybody died hope monkey
I hope that monkey died and doesn't affect anybody else.
coming gesture likes television
I made a gesture coming out of my huddle. And he wanted it. He likes television.
against happy letter phone send
I'm happy for his 400th. I just didn't want it to be against me, you know? But at least by being here I can congratulate him in person and don't have to send him a letter or make a phone call.
