basketball successful coaching
For us to be successful on defense, we must get back and stop the basketball, eliminate easy baskets, keep the ball out of the lane, and bother the shooters.
basketball team kids
Players who are committed to the team first will find a way to help when things are going bad, they will do whatever it takes. Kids that are more into themselves will not do that. They will take care of themselves and get more individual when things are tough.
basketball philosophy frustration
Most of my learning and philosophy regarding coaching basketball was developed after great frustration.
basketball victory defeat
We cannot accept in victory what we would not accept in defeat.

You test gold in a furnace and silver with a crucible, but you test man with praise.

They made the plays they had to make and we didn't.
inherited
I don't even look at those things. There were so many streaks that I inherited here, and Wisconsin. When I was at Wisconsin, there were so many streaks there, I kind of let them go in one ear, and out the other.
alternate created creates figured found given josh locked shots
They figured him out. Josh is not one who creates his own shot. His shots have been created off of our screens, and we've given him as many as possible. But they've locked him out by just concentrating on him and we haven't found a lot of alternate scoring.

It has been my pleasure to serve WSU in these years.

I'm trying not to panic or change everything around regarding that, but I'm trying to find some alternate means of scoring. We can't rely on winning with the three.
aside emotions fact kids maybe owned
I don't know what that is aside from the emotions of the game. Maybe the fact that they have pretty much owned us over the years. I'm not sure. I do know . . . that they've got a lot of young kids out there.
existence
That's been the story of our existence here. Almost, but not quite.
