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.
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.
case defensive extremely felt five game good hard last needed negative player playing three
Then the other thing is that Wes has been playing so hard. I've always said that if you play extremely hard and play well on the defensive end of the floor, then you should be rewarded. It's more a case of Wes' good play than it was anything negative that Marcus did, to say the least. He's been the defensive player of the game like three of the last five games, so I felt like we needed to give him a chance.
extra guys hold player running shut
I was disappointed in Aaron's involvement. I didn't see it. I'll need to look at the tape. If we need to do some extra running for Aaron, it's what we should do. Our guys don't need to do those kind of things. Just shut up, get hold of your own player and get out of there.

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.
counteract game hoping speed strength
It was a game where I was hoping our speed would counteract some of their strength. But we weren't able to do that.
