bench coming matter nice ready situation
I've been in that situation before, just coming off the bench and being ready to play. There was a nice flow. A nice rhythm. It's just a matter of me getting a better feel each and every game.
chicago constantly prepared shooting situation spent time wisely work
That is what you work for. The whole Chicago situation was what it was -- pretty much nothing. I spent that time wisely working out and constantly shooting and getting prepared for this situation right here.
good great guys movement people prove run situation spot
It's a good spot for me to go out and prove to people that I'm still a scorer. There's a lot of movement in the offense, guys are very unselfish, and I can still run the floor. It's a great situation for me.
believes everybody situation
Yeah, definitely. Everybody who is in that situation believes that way.
basketball best definitely fun great heavy push situation trying
This is a great situation. To come right in and play heavy minutes, and now we're trying to make this push in the playoffs, it's the best situation to be in. Basketball is definitely fun again.
beating game good hard low morale playing team
We were playing a good game and beating the team that's been charging lately, so it wasn't hard to get the morale up before the game or during. It's just low now.
challenged continue kids last lost seniors team
We lost everything. That's a challenge. Not many of these kids have had a whole lot of varsity experience. I have a lot of seniors on this team and I've challenged them to continue what last year's team did.
effort good result won
The result wasn't what we wanted it to be, but the effort pretty much was. Obviously, we were just a little off. They're a good team, but we had the lead. We should have won the game.
blame harder needed obviously saves
I wasn't surprised, really. I obviously wasn't at my best. I don't want to make excuses. I can't say I was tired. It just wasn't there for me. I will take the blame for what happened. I didn't get the bounces and I probably made some of the saves harder than they needed to be.
build chick coach easier fortunate gave good guy head lucky north staff start total willing work
I was very fortunate to coach with Chick Campbell. He gave me a lot of responsibilities there, so now being the head guy at North is not a total shock. It made it easier on my part. I am lucky to have a good staff with me. They're willing to put a lot of work in (to start to) build this program.
focus home los trying win
You just can't go out at home like that. For us, it was a must win and we got it done. Now the focus is on just trying to win in Los Angeles.
came heart season
It is disappointing, but it's been a season of disappointments. At least we showed heart and came back in the third.
figure trying
From that point, it was like, 'Go figure. I'm still trying to figure it out.
respect
I don't respect what he did still, but it's done.
