Fatigue had zero to do with the loss.
banned coaches directly found guilty maybe ourselves people punished punishment turning
There's got to be more punishment on the people directly involved. Maybe if coaches were not only punished but banned if they were found guilty of something. Maybe we need to self-police ourselves better -- I don't think there's many coaches turning each other in.

There's no question he's pressing right now and I kind of feel for him.

There's no reason we can't get the job done. We've got enough players to get it done.

Right now, we just can't seem to find the basket with anything. When you do that, that affects other parts of your game, and that's what's happened to us right now. We have to regroup and find a way to get back on track.

Pretty soon, we'll want the National Guard out around things.

The officiating, I question it. I really do. I question it. I guess I'm allowed to say that.
