I've been in his shoes and know what he went through. They did a good job in the first half.
again bad buy early great job kid looks poor shoot shot shots
Early in his career, they said there was never a shot he didn't like. He's changed. He's done such a much better job of shot selection. I'm going to have to get him to shoot bad shots again because I really thought he had some great looks and he just couldn't ? poor kid couldn't buy one.

adjusting coaching excuses game good guys job situations team tired whether
I can't make any excuses up. As a coaching staff, we have not done a good enough job of adjusting to the things we need to adjust to, whether it be the schedule, whether it be an injury, whether it be end-of-the game situations with guys tired or not tired. We've got to find a way to do a better job, because we're a good enough team to get it done.

We weren't the prettiest -- Illinois really pressured us and it bothered us some -- but the defense we played and the job we did, I can't say enough.
free good job
We did a pretty good job on a lot of guys, just free throws, free throws, free throws.
critical dorm hotel job locker message might
I told them their most important job now is the locker room, the dorm room, the hotel room. What they spread, what kind of message they spread, might be as critical as anything.

The nice thing for us with George Mason is we did play them last year and it wasn't like we ran through them. We just did a good job at times and we struggled at times.
ball basket fade good guess instead job paul point shooting
I wanted to make a point to Paul that he has to take the ball to the basket instead of shooting those fade shots. I guess I haven't done a very good job of that this year, and so I reverted back to a way I know best.
ball basket fade good guess job paul point quit taking
I wanted to make a point to Paul that he has to take the ball to the basket and he's got to quit taking those fade shots. I guess I haven't done a very good job of that this year, so I reverted back to a way I know best.
