basketball coach craziest good hope island positives
It's the craziest thing I've ever been around. I've never been on a team, coach or player, where this has happened. I just hope we can take the positives to Rhode Island and see if we can play good basketball again.
feels four three win
It feels good. Not just to win three in a row, but to win four out of five.
came last left ready summer
I told Ian when he left last summer that he had to come back ready to be the centerpiece of our offense. He not only wanted it, but he came back here to do it.
along confident kevin known looked memory shots tip vivid
All along I have known they are confident players, but they don't do it in a boastful way. Tommie is not intimidated by anybody. I have this vivid memory of how we were about to tip it off at (North) Carolina, and he looked like he had been there 25 times before. Kevin is the same way. How many big shots has he made in every setting?
game huge matter program slice step turn
It's a huge win, no matter how you slice it. This game doesn't turn our program around, but it's a step in the right direction.
coaches discussion point together
That has to be the No. 1 point of discussion when the A-10 coaches get together after the season.
continue dominant effort himself post team teammates
That was a team effort to make him more forceful. His teammates had to play a part in that, to continue to look into the post every time. To Ian's credit, he re-established himself as a dominant center. He was too much for them to handle.
basketball close good
On paper, we're .500, but if you look in deeper, we're so close to being a really good basketball team.
fix hope mean
If we can fix it, than I think we can hope to do well in March. If we can't fix it, then I think we are going be done in a big hurry. I don't mean to be real negative, but I try to be honest.
blame couple free guy lay slow three
His guy got free a couple times. He had three turnovers in the first 10 minutes. I don't want to lay blame on any one person. He got off to a slow start.
move rough stretch
It's an unfortunate way to end the season. We had a rough 10-day stretch here to end it. But such is life. We move on from here.
ability adam immediate impact physical power presence provide
Adam will provide an immediate physical presence as a strong, power forward-type player, who has the ability to make an immediate impact in our program.
anywhere challenge course excited fact freshman guys incredible kids knew matters poised prayed season special surprised
I'm not surprised by the way these kids are. When I recruited them I knew that these were special kids. I just prayed that we could get them to commit. And how excited I am that we're going to have them for more years. The fact that they're poised when it matters ... over the course of the season those two guys have done incredible things. When you look at them as a pair, I challenge you to find a freshman combination anywhere that's doing the things they're doing.
kid time
First time I'd ever subbed a kid in and out before he played.
