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.
figure trying
From that point, it was like, 'Go figure. I'm still trying to figure it out.
corner definitely finding forth good job knocked shot trying
It was definitely a big shot because it was going back and forth and they were trying to get back in the game. Boris did a good job finding me in the corner and I just knocked it down.
helped knowing million sit team thirteen trying watch work
Thirteen million (dollars) to sit down and watch basketball? To work out on your own? I mean, knowing that I could have helped that team? That team is just trying to get into the playoffs. It wasn't my decision. I wanted to play basketball. They didn't want me to play basketball.
bad balance blocked determine extremely heel trying
He was off balance when he went up and I blocked his shot. And he kind of just rolled on it. Right now, I'm just trying to determine how bad it is and take it day-by-day. It's more of my Achilles, it's not like a sprained ankle, it's in the back on my heel and Achilles. It's just extremely sore.
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.
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.
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.
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.
respect
I don't respect what he did still, but it's done.
