bad call coach hate hurt
It was a bad call on my part. It's something as a coach that you hate to do to hurt your team.

It was a bad afternoon. Bad coaching. Bad playing. Bad shooting, bad rebounding ... just a bad day.

It was one of those nights where it kind of snowballed on Dave's team.

attention basketball gets great nobody people
The attention that basketball gets here is incredible, and that's what you want. You want interest. You can have a great team, but if nobody cares, it doesn't do any good. I think there's positives, and some people will say there are negatives. But there also are a lot of positives.
attention believe cause early focus lose pay polls satisfying
It may be satisfying to such a young team, but I don't believe it will cause them to lose their focus because they know it is so early in the season. For me personally, the polls are fine, but I really don't pay attention to where we are ranked.
air restricted service weeks
It's going to be very, very restricted air service for the weeks to come.
biggest choking dallas dog nfl nice streak washington
It's going to be cutthroat out there on the field, because Dallas and Washington is one of the biggest rivalries in NFL history. We know we have a nice little streak going, but you never want to give a dog life. If you've got a dog down, you want to keep choking it.
basketball heck watch
It's going to be a heck of a basketball game. But I don't think I'm going to watch it.
ball came punched won
It shouldn't have came down to the officials. We should have punched that ball in and should have won this game.
absolutely ride wonderful
It's been an absolutely wonderful ride with my team.
compare good players setting treat wonderful
It's just a wonderful treat for us (as coaches). You see really good players in one setting and compare how they are to other players as well.
follow league rule worrying
It's a rule that the league mandated, and I'm going to have to follow the rules, ... I'm not worrying about being targeted.
kids testament
It's a testament to a lot of kids that are making me look good. I told them to keep it up.
