against ball inside points shoot spread transition work
I'm disappointed that we didn't work the ball well enough to spread out their zone. We got no inside points because they got every rebound. We usually shoot well against the zone, but we didn't do it. There were no transition points.
attacking ball dribble guys team thinking turned
We just turned the ball over way too much. We got guys on this team that can dribble the ball up the floor, but we were thinking too much. We weren't attacking their press. They come at you from all angles.
attacking ball care great job knew offensive open patient trap
We wanted to take care of the ball, be patient in the offensive set. We knew they were going to come at us and trap Amir. Amir did a great job getting the ball to the open guy. We made shots. We were attacking their pressure.
ball best dictated difference far felt game good outside patient team turn
We'll take that one. It was by far the best game that we had this year, outside of Aliquippa. We dictated the game from the start. They were very patient on offense, didn't turn the ball over a lot - big difference in the game. It felt like a good team win.
ball great players wants
Jeter wants the ball at the end of the game. Great players want the ball at the end of the game, and they make plays.
ball kid players point rather somebody special top touch
(Amir) is a special kid because he's our top scorer and our point guard. We want him to score, but first we want him to get players the ball. We'd rather get somebody to touch the ball first, especially Bradford.
came guy
The big guy came through again. I wanted to get him a break, but I just had to have him in there all the time.
game happy lay stayed
I'm real happy with our composure. We stayed in the game. I didn't like that we didn't put the game away, but I give them credit. They didn't lay down and die.
example good happy hard love perfect practice run showing work
I love him right now. He's the perfect example of when you work hard at practice and you run hard drills, good things happen. It's showing underneath. I'm real happy with the way he's playing.
gets happen move point state tougher
I'm satisfied. It's a state win. We've got to move on. We've got to survive. We have to know these things can't happen anymore. We have to get better in all areas, because from this point on, it gets tougher and tougher.
beating boards
They were beating us on the boards in the first half. That's something we've been working on.
boards controlled difference offense patient rebound spread total zone
We had to be patient on offense to spread out their zone and find the gaps, but we didn't do that. I don't know what the rebound total was, but they controlled the boards and that was the difference in the game.
bigger change eyes hard kids prize
We just kind of went back to what we were doing all year. It was hard, I'm not going to lie, but we're not going to change much and the kids have their eyes on a bigger prize right now.
best felt games happy needed patient people seen
This felt like one of his best games that I've seen him play. He was patient and smart. He got people involved. When we needed points, when they would make a run, he would get the shots. I'm real happy with him.
