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.
believe call coach gone lost percent seat sort
No one had ever gone through it. We lost 91 percent of our scoring, and I believe 89 percent of our rebounding. I didn't have any coach I could call and ask, 'What did you do?' We've sort of been going by the seat of our pants.
call
Let's call it what it was. A blowout.
athletes blown call football full nfl team
I think it's embarrassing, ... especially when you're an NFL football team full of professional athletes getting blown out -- which it was. I mean, let's call it what it was: a blowout.
bad best call chance foul given guy hurts job score team tied wrong
I called for a press, but we did a bad job with it and it was the wrong call on my part. We go down and foul a guy and we are never able to get the score tied after that. It hurts when you feel like you've not given your team the best chance to win.

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.
basketball best fantastic performance
It was a fantastic performance for us. I think it was our best basketball of the year.
beaten people
They would have beaten y'all's butt, ... but they're not going to beat a lot of other people in our league.
defend easier four guy guys head run screaming standing time
I'm over there screaming my head off one time ... 'Move, move, move. It's easier to defend a guy when the other four guys are standing there stationary ... they can run in there and make it difficult.
again change might
I have no idea, and I'm being honest. I might even change the lineup again -- I don't know.
best credit early leaders positive score shots struggling thoughts tough trying youngster
I'm not trying to take credit for it. I'm just trying to put positive thoughts in kids' minds. David's a tough youngster and one of the best leaders I've been around. Making those shots early when we were struggling to score were really important to us.
carolina crazy duke fans hear heard hope influence kinds maybe somebody stories wild work
I've heard some wild stories that Duke didn't like it because they were booed by our fans when they went down there (to Charlotte) to work out. Maybe somebody didn't like that. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. I would hope that would not influence the procedure. You hear all kinds of crazy things when Duke and Carolina are involved. I would hope that doesn't have anything to do with it.
