biggest five four though three
This could go on three or four or five weeks. I only had to put up with it for one week, even though it was on the biggest stage.
bound last outside percent shot sooner three
They shot something like 60 percent from outside their last three games. That was bound to even out sooner or later.

As of the end of 2005, in total broadcast revenues, the market only grew 3.8 percent.
both came comfort whoever
As long as they're both right-handed, it's no difference. It's just my comfort zone. I'm comfortable with 3 (Harrington). That's who I came in with. Whoever is in there, we got to make it work.
event greatest
That?s what makes this tournament, in my opinion, the greatest sporting event there is.
beat carolina college event greatest michigan nobody north opinion state tournament
That's what makes this tournament in my opinion the greatest sporting event in the world. Nobody probably thought they could beat Michigan State and North Carolina back to back. But that's college basketball.
guard
Defensively, he couldn't guard his freaking lunch. He was bad. He was just awful.
anybody runs
Anybody that runs up and down the court.
determine execution few generally happened job players run time
That's happened to me a few times during my career. Generally speaking, most of the time it's the players who determine everything, anyway. We can run the same plays, but if their players do a better job of execution than mine do, they're going to win. If mine do a better job, then we're going to win.
coach course decided goals hurt sit
That one hurt for a long time, ... It made me, over the course of that summer, sit back, try to investigate myself, try to see if there was something I was doing wrong, see if my goals were right. At that time, I decided my new No. 1 goal was going to be live long enough to coach my grandchildren.
adjust ethic far freshmen gifted good hard kid last quicker treats wants work
You never know when your freshmen come in how hard they're going work, how they're going to adjust to bigger, quicker players. His work ethic was something I thought was really good and it's far surpassed even what I thought. He's a phenomenally gifted kid who wants to get better, who treats every play like the last and you don't find many freshmen who do it like that.
impressive victory
It was about as impressive of an opening-round victory as I've seen.
lately nice played playing
Q's been playing much better lately and I told him he's got to play. I thought Q did some nice things for us. I think he really has played much better.
