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.
gratifying league since start worst
For us to have the worst league start since (1983) and then go 13-3 is probably more gratifying than if we had started out 10-0.
crushed education kid start
I know it hurts. It crushed him. But if the kid isn't tough, how can a walk-on kid from Asheville, N.C., come in here, get an education and start for Kansas?
freshmen learn situation starting
This is a situation that we've never been in before, starting freshmen and sophomores, and we're going to learn from it. We'll get better.
anybody guard guys playing point start throwing tight touches
Our point guard and two-guard play has been average. That's not throwing anybody under the bus. We've just got to play better. When we do start playing better (at guard) I think our big guys will play better because they'll get more touches in tight at the basket.
heart player russell soul start
I don't know if one player spurred it (team chemistry) on more than others, but I do think Russell Robinson, from start to finish, has been the heart and soul of our team.
figure game great hopefully seasons start win
It was huge, because we didn't play well at all. That's what makes great seasons ? when you figure out how to win a game when you don't play real well. Hopefully that's a start for us.
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.
