boil concepts free improve line throw
I think (we can make a run). We have to improve the defense. The concepts are better but it's going to boil down to them. (Tonight) just can't happen. We can't let them go to the free throw line like that.
human personal pride talk
He's a pretty competitive human being and he's got a lot of pride. I talk to them about personal and professional pride a lot, and he's got a lot of that.
brought energy learn positive practice system time totally unfamiliar
He comes into a totally unfamiliar situation, has no practice time to learn the system and does what he did out there tonight. That was great. He brought some very positive energy to our team.
army army-and-navy high spent straight
I went into the U.S. Army straight out of high school. I spent 21 years in the Army before I retired.
changing good half practices
I thought under the circumstances of having only one and a half to two practices and changing systems, we were pretty good out there. Overall, I was really pleased.
players
I really got after the players . . . and they responded really, really well.
upside
His upside is a joke. He could be really special.
gratifying tour
(Berlin) was the most gratifying tour of the whole thing.
realize
Curry is huge. I didn't realize he was that big.
agreeing coach contract cooperate expect hard signed whatever
I told them that when they signed that contract they were agreeing that they would cooperate with whatever we wanted to do. I expect them to play hard. I'm not going to coach effort, but I want them to play hard and play good.
allen amazes ball heart playing ray
It could be fatigue. We all know it's been a long year. Ray Allen still amazes me. He's playing really hard. He competed his heart out, he just couldn't get the ball in the basket.
wants
In Luke's case, he's scared. He's a baby. He wants to be something.
concentration deep defensive double dug hard lack maybe tried
I didn't want to have to double (team) Ely. Maybe we just didn't think he would do that. The lack of concentration and defensive aggressiveness is hard to understand. I tried everything I could think of. It just wasn't there. We just dug too deep a hole.
belonging lands people
I see these lands as belonging to the people of Nipomo and California, not the Land Conservancy.
