deal everybody prepared run second settle slow tried
In the second half, we really tried to slow it down and run our half-court offense. We're going to have to deal with that because we're not going to outrun everybody in the state. We're going to have be prepared to settle down.
athletic basketball box care definitely except lady people prepared seen team trapped year
(The Lady Panthers are) probably the most athletic team we've seen except our J.V. boys. We're definitely going to have to box out and take care of the basketball because they like to trap. Not a lot of people have trapped us this year so we're definitely going to have to be prepared for that.
glad good shot
I thought we had a very good shot at getting back. We are very glad to be there and, once you get to Greenville, anything can happen.
decent four players service
We had four pretty decent players at our service every day.
block contend defense foul people post shot solid stay trouble work
Our post people are really going to have to work on their post defense because we have (Valentine and Little) we'll have to contend with. And we've just got to stay out of foul trouble and not try to block every shot and just play good, solid defense.
improve mean state undefeated
That doesn't mean a thing. I want to go undefeated in the state playoffs. We've got to improve if we want that to happen.
depend people
We don't like to depend on only one or two people in our offense. It's working better when everyone contributes and is a threat.
excited execute foul picks trouble trying
We were getting in so much foul trouble trying to execute our traps. I am so excited about our half-court game. We executed beautifully with our back picks and lob passes.
normally offensive press
We didn't press as much as we normally do. We wanted to look at some other things we can do out of a half-court offensive set.
against cost factors foul girls last loss main regional
We have to keep our big girls (Harris and Best) from getting into foul trouble. That was one of the main factors that cost us in our loss against Dudley in the regional semifinals last year.
box care foul improve shooting
We're going to have to play some outstanding defense. We have to box out to get rebounds, improve our foul shooting and take care of the basketball.
anyone court defensive felt freedom gave high people players post quick spent strong time
We spent so much time on the defensive end of the court in practice. All 10 of my players were quick or really strong post defenders. I didn't have anyone that I felt would get scored upon by most people in high school. That gave me the freedom to sub more.
contact game knew last shot watching
We were in contact with someone watching the game at Reynolds and we knew pretty much when the last shot was made and they won.
anticipate frame guess honestly playing preparing quarter signature spent time took
I didn't anticipate them playing us man, I really didn't. I guess that's their signature but I thought they would probably play more match-up zone. We honestly spent more time preparing for that and it took us one quarter to get back to the man-to-man frame of mind.
