against effort eight ends game good held hold inside points rest six
Defensively, we held them to eight, Holman had six inside and he ends up with eight for the game - so we hold him to two points the rest of the way. That's a pretty good effort against the big guy.
gives grow leeds
This gives Leeds something unique, something special. And it could grow to become something really big and long-lasting.
happiness happy losses satisfied trying
I know they're not satisfied or happy with losses - they better not be - but they're trying hard, so that's all I can ask.
kids smiles
There are some big smiles on our kids after that game.
good himself knock looks needs
He's a good shooter. We'd like him to take more shots, but being a sophomore, I think he has it in himself that he doesn't think he needs to take those shots. But we need to have him take those looks and try to knock those down.
bad behind early falling giving good hang onto opportunity playing quarter start stay
We didn't get off to too good of a start in the first quarter falling behind as bad as we were playing offensively. We were able to hang onto it because Y-C was making some early turnovers and giving us every opportunity to stay in the game.
against care coach couple effort good hard kids line next score scramble situation start success teams until work
Their effort - they scramble and work as hard as they can until the end of the game. And I coach them to the end in that situation - I don't care what the score is. I want to see them get better and see those young kids have some success down the line here in the next couple years and it's going to start against good teams like that.
chance ended gave half kids league playing problem pull second seven themselves win
I thought the kids gave themselves every chance to pull out a win in their first league game. We are playing better basketball, and that's encouraging, but our problem in the first half is that we had 19 turnovers. We ended up with only seven in the second half.
