believe bright brought competition future great level staff
She's done a great job. She and her staff have really brought the level of competition up ... I believe the future is very bright for Pittsburgh. Very, very bright.
friends-or-friendship game personal relates strengths weaknesses worried
She and I are personal friends, but as it relates to the game itself, she can see like I can see. She can tell what our strengths and weaknesses are just like I can with them, but I'm not necessarily worried about that. We just have to go out and play.
great pride takes
She doesn't mind. E takes great pride in that.
dying love
She is one of a dying breed. I love her very much.
change defense difference extend game
She really did change the game because we were not able to get a '55' defense. I thought the difference was her being able to extend the defense at full-court level.
came game nice somebody test
I feel much better, and I thought this was a real test. This was the first real test where somebody came that was legitimate, not going to back down, and demonstrated that they play the same game all the time. So, it was nice to see that.
count
We all count on her to do the incredible.
game gap kick nice sharing trying understood
We would get in the gap and then kick it out 15 feet, and that's nice because you're sharing the ball. But what we were trying to do was put the game away earlier, so we understood how you do put a game away.
couple deserved home overlooked point
We did not play. I don't know if we overlooked them, (but) there's no point in complaining about it. We deserved to lose. We should be going home and we will be going home in a couple of hours.
chickens cut excited far figured necks running settle settled wondered
We were excited at the beginning, like chickens running around with their necks cut off. I figured we would settle in. I just wondered how far down we'd go before we settled down.
felt played selfish shown
It's the same issues. It's not that I didn't know we had posts that haven't shown up. This is bad. I felt we played selfish basketball. I thought we did not play very smart. Our rebounding was very lax; we did not play as if we had a purpose.
automatic ball feed goes help pilot soon team welcome
You try to help the team to see the big picture. I really welcome the day when I have a team that is on automatic pilot and they just feed off of it, and as soon as the ball goes up they just know. They just play.
games nice seen
It was nice to see them play free. It was one of the better games I've seen in a long time.
extremely kid looks open
That kid was getting open looks for that shot. As a team, we usually play extremely well getting out on the 3.
