convinced high school
I was convinced high school was the place for me.
attendance fill great schools students
It's disappointing because it's a great conference. Schools have a big-enough attendance that students should fill it up when the adults don't.
good job moving players plays
Morrison does such a good job moving without the ball. He's like a throwback. He plays the way a lot of players used to. He's terrific.
against certainly factor free playing points shot takes teams throw time zone
I think that certainly is a factor in some of the scores. It takes more time to get a shot against a zone than it does man-to-man. Teams that are playing zone probably aren't fouling as much, so you aren't getting as many points at the free throw line.
behind crowd fans game gets hard points team
I thought the crowd was very good, but it's hard when your team gets behind by 10 or 12 points. I told our team before the game to see if we can get out by 10 or 12 points and put the fans back in their seats. We were able to do that.
good success
We've never had much success there. They've always got good teams, and that makes a difference.
