basketball fan guy people talking
I think the way people are talking about how we're going to be is very exciting, ... And If you're a basketball fan you want to ask, 'How's this guy going to look?'
basketball best sure
Basketball is a streaky game. The best thing to do is to make sure you get what you want at your end. We went through some stretches where we didn't get that.
saying
As I've been saying all along, they just have to play a little older,
force gets good line
He didn't force anything, and he gets a double-double. That's a good line for Brian. It's a good line for anybody.
ball game
That's the ball game right in that stretch.
amazing bring certain coach everybody filled forward guys learned pat picked pressure ready stepped teacher time
Sometimes that's a lot to ask, so I'm not going to pressure them into being at a certain stage. As a coach and a teacher I learned a long time ago you've got to bring them along, and then when they're ready they'll show what they can do. You push, you prod, you pat and you do the other things that everybody does in teaching, and it's amazing how our guys over the years have kind of stepped forward and picked up and filled that void.
head plan practice
It's pretty much been the same practice plan on the first day for 20-some years as a head coach, and I don't think I'm going to change.
shot
That was his shot in the 1920s and 30s.
happened kinds
All kinds of things could have happened there.
influence leader means men might returning
Him being a leader returning means that he's going to influence other young men into having better years they might not have otherwise,
eventually guys impose somebody wear
I like the way our guys are executing. Then sometimes if somebody is quicker, bigger, stronger, eventually they'll wear you down and they'll impose their will, especially on the road.
competition player thinks understand win
Every player thinks he should win every game. They understand what competition is all about.
athletic happen quick
The thing we didn't want to have happen happened. You can't play from behind. It's very difficult. We are not as athletic or quick enough to play from behind.
closed couple free games given lost michigan miss throws
It's kind of like the free throws we've given up. We've lost a couple games because (against) Michigan and Northwestern, they (didn't) miss a free throw down the stretch. We just closed out (a victory) the same way.
