ball biggest floor kid point pressure top
I think there can be some differences (among the top point guards). But the biggest thing is the kid being able to take the ball under pressure and take it up the floor and get you into the offense.
compete high level point
Over the years, to me at least, you can compete at a pretty high level with out big men. But if you don't have a point guard, it's tough.
good guard point
The years we've had good point guard it has made so many things a lot easier.
good main played team time tuesday west
I think we're a better team now than the first time we played West and that's the main thing. West has a good outfit. We're going to be there on Tuesday and we're going to do what we can do.
basketball beat best feels hard kids mean played quality second team win wins
Just a win feels great. We played a quality second-place team. This is the second second-place team we beat this year. Kaukauna was the other. The 400 wins just mean that I have had many hard working kids. I like to think that our kids are more of a blue-collar type. They may not be the best basketball players, but they give you 100 percent.
adversity far games handled kids pleased wins worked year
We have a lot of kids back. What they accomplished this year with 14 wins was far, far better than I had ever dreamed. I thought they worked through some adversity. Most games we went into I thought we were the underdog, and I was very pleased with how they handled themselves.
came defense game intense keys pressure rolling transition
Keys to the game were our pressure defense and our transition offense. We came out really intense and got the game rolling right off the bat.
basketball kids program reflects trying win
When you get 400 wins, it reflects the kids you've had in the past, it reflects the parents, it reflects the program itself, the coaches. We're just trying to win a basketball game. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
ball extremely nights shot
We had one of those nights where we shot the ball extremely well.
arena belt eight games stuff
We've got eight games under our belt now. That stuff is done with. They've been in the arena long enough now that we shouldn't have those mistakes.
apart beat execute execution fell needed threw trap
We just fell apart on execution. They threw a little trap on us and we did not execute. We got beat by a better team. That's all there is to it. We didn't execute the way we needed to execute, and they were better.
board gave guys hill looked missed offensive sending trouble
When I looked at film of Thursday's game, they did some things that really gave us trouble but they just missed shots. They were sending a lot of guys to the offensive board and (Mike) Hill was getting a lot of offensive penetration.
early gone toward year
Early in the year we would have been fouling in that situation. Toward the end of the year we've gone away from that.
adversity kids life proud rise strikes tonight
Sometimes when adversity strikes in your life or in your sport, you have to rise to the occasion. I thought our kids did that tonight and I'm very proud of them for that.
