job kid kids philosophy puts winning
Kids who come here, I see them grow. My philosophy is not winning and losing. When I see a kid like Tracey, it puts this job in perspective.
extra kids needed players sons special
You never know what another person is going through. All of my players are like sons to me. Tracey just needed a little extra attention. Kids like Tracey make it special for me.
ball behind character energy far fell kids
I think our kids showed a lot of character getting back into the ball game. We fell so far behind that we used so much energy getting back into the ball game.
anytime kids learned lose shows team
I think our kids learned something from this experience. Anytime you come on this level, and in this place, and lose by 14 and outscore them 41-32 after halftime, it shows we're not a team that's ever going to quit.
deserve kids win
These kids deserve to play. We're going there to try to win the championship.
anytime caused defensive game intensity level minutes score shots team
I thought their defensive intensity in the first 11 or 12 minutes caused us a lot of problems. We didn't make shots and pretty much got away from our game plan. Anytime you play a team at this level and only score 13 points, you're not going to give yourself much of a chance.
chemistry exactly halftime
We do it to try to set a tone. If you get the right chemistry and combinations, we know at halftime exactly what we're up against.
reward touch
My reward is that I can touch their life.
chances education extremely level palm playing realized tough
That was tough during our championship year. He realized his chances of playing at another level will be extremely tough, but his education is in the palm of his hands.
associated chance half last playing second start worst
That was the worst second half I've ever been associated with. If we don't start playing better, we won't have a chance to get where we were last season.
across beat facing hard obstacles program simply
We were simply beat by a better team, a better program across the board. Facing those obstacles, it's hard to overcome.
seen sound stretch
We were as fundamentally sound defensively during that stretch as I've ever seen us.
deal feels great remorse sorrow
He feels a great deal of remorse and sorrow for what he did.
addressing areas conference exploit god grace last near nowhere played starting teams undefeated vulnerable weakness
We're nowhere near where we were last year. By the grace of God and only by his grace that we were undefeated in this conference and it showed tonight; we're very vulnerable in a lot of different areas and teams are starting to exploit our weakness and hopefully, we can get back to addressing our weaknesses. We're nowhere near the number-one team in the conference, especially the way we played tonight.
