half job keeping second third
We did a much better job in the second half. In the first half, they (Reno) got too many second and third shots. We did a much better job in the second half keeping them to one shot.
defensive second third
The one thing we didn't do well was get defensive rebounds. They just had too many second and third shots.
ball job nice second
I thought we did a nice job of pressuring the ball in the second half.
hands
We weren't getting our hands up in their face.
coached girls since sixth transition
I've coached a lot of these girls since they were in sixth grade. So they know me. I know them. The transition was real easy.
game reminded
We got comfortable with the lead. We kind of let back a little bit. I reminded (the girls) not to let down. We still have a game to finish. We can't get comfortable.
ball five four hole possession shots
We just couldn't put the ball in the hole in that quarter. We'd have four or five shots on one possession and still couldn't score.
goes greatest plays team
When it comes to crunch-time, this team just goes out and plays its game. That's the greatest thing about them.
backing drive easy giving shots thinking
We were giving them easy shots because we were backing off a step, thinking they were going to drive to the basket.
easy gave last lay played time ups victory
I didn't want to give them any easy lay ups. We gave them too many easy lay ups the last time we played them (in a 62-58 Galena victory in December).
free knock knows quick
She's real quick and she knows how to knock down her free throws.
defense emphasize momentum quarter steals win
She had two steals in that quarter for us, and I think that got us the momentum back. We emphasize defense in practice. Those are the things you need to win games.
fighting fights-and-fighting girls kept
My girls really wanted it. That's why they kept fighting and fighting.
felt
I felt like there was a lid on the basket.
