bench games players preference sat whether
I sat the bench (with the Kings) for I don't know how many games. It is just a coach's preference whether or not they are going to play players or not.
players possible produces smith stretch touches veteran youngster
Our veteran (Smith) and our youngster (Rice) made the big plays. We want Smith to get as many touches down the stretch as possible because our other players will play off him. He's a thoroughbred and battle-tested, and he usually produces in the clutch.
beating capable gave players
We just can't get the stops, ... With our offense, we're capable of beating any team. But we're not getting it done defensively. Our players gave us everything they've got.
figure grasped heck obviously players run team trying
I was trying to figure out what the heck I was doing. I wanted to get in there and run and obviously play some defense. We've got a young team but that's not an excuse. We've got a lot of young players that just haven't grasped it yet but we'll get there.
bit coaches extremely involved knew parties players sad
The players really didn't see anything. I think the coaches knew a little bit more about what happened. It was extremely unfortunate for all parties involved and a sad, very sad incident.
amount basket determination ethic good great man obviously player players qualities quality saying touch tough tremendous type work
He's got great hands. He's a tough young man who has a tremendous amount of determination. I mean, his determination is really what makes him the player he is. He's obviously got good qualities - he's got good touch around the basket - but it's his work ethic that allows him to be the quality player he is. I'm just saying I don't think there are many players that play with that type of intensity, particularly freshmen.
great players
He just made some great shots. Outstanding players do that.
battle hard level mistake nobody players settle soccer throw wants window
You pretty much have to throw pretty soccer out the window at this level any way. Nobody wants to make a mistake and the players are a little nervous. It's hard to settle in. We're going to have to battle for 80 minutes.
allowed along bring build fine players program reason stability stay worked
Because I've been allowed to stay long enough, I think that's part of the reason that this has occurred, along with, obviously, having some very fine players who've worked their tails off to build this program and bring about stability in this program.
both came cleansing coaches consistent felt history job knew leave mark needed open period player program
When the BC job came open I was interested. I knew the program and its history of coaches from both as a player and a coach. I thought I could leave my mark here and I always felt BC could be more consistent in having its coach. BC was going through a cleansing period and I think I needed one, too.
club fortunate mistake overcome veteran
I thought we have a veteran club and we made a very big mistake there. We were fortunate to overcome that.
couple exploited front game happened key looked mistakes played
I thought they just made a couple of key mistakes in front of their own goal. It looked like a little miscommunication between their sweeper and their goalie sometimes, and we exploited that. The game wasn't played all that pretty. We just happened to score.
good match nice shot
I think we have as good a shot as any team. That would be really nice to go down there and get a win. But we have to take it a match at a time.
either everybody fans maybe
It had nothing to do with the game. It was a well-played game. It wasn't even a distraction for either team. Maybe the fans and everybody else got excited.
