accuracy believe far high led release school shot
I didn't see him play much in high school because we were led to believe we wouldn't have a shot at him. His release has got to get quicker, but his accuracy is far more than I ever expected.
certainly coaches deserved deserving honorable led level mario played russell start third
I thought Mario deserved third team, and I thought Russell (Robinson) deserved honorable mention, but there's a lot of other coaches that say the same thing about their players. Brandon certainly played at a certain level and led us from start to finish. He's deserving of that.
breathe iowa lead state talented teams
Once we got our lead back up to nine, we could breathe a little easier. Iowa State is one of the most talented teams we've played.
sweeter
From my standpoint, this was sweeter than any of the other ones that I have had, because we started 1-2.
creative freedom
You don't want to take away his freedom to make creative plays.
excited focused fun missouri
They're an immature, fun and focused group. They don't get excited on the road. Even in the Missouri game, they weren't rattled.
leagues lit means parity people
I look around the county, and I see a lit of leagues like ours. With parity a lot of people think that means mediocrity.
convinced hated
I hated to see this happen. I'm not convinced he made the right decision.
completed information matter people sure
It's not anyone's fault. It was just a matter of getting all of the information compiled and contacting the right people to make sure that he had completed all of the requirements.
gives great victory
That was a great victory by (A&M). It gives us a chance.
asks coaching danny everybody game last loved multiple ran second talked win
He showed a play they ran to win a game in the last second with Danny (Manning). We talked about multiple things. He always asks about how everybody is doing here (at KU). He loved coaching here.
deserving hope league policy recognized team whatever wins
I hope the policy is revisited because any team in our league that wins a championship is deserving of being recognized, any sport. Whatever championship it is, you should be recognized by your conference. Obviously, we were not.
answering consider focused
I didn't think we were as focused as we should be. I don't consider 25 turnovers answering the bell.
attitude came concerned feeling good playing shots stepping
He had a good attitude when he wasn't playing and he came in and made shots. But he does more than just make shots. He is concerned with being well-rounded and he is doing better defensively. He is stepping up and making shots because he is feeling good about how he is playing.
