challenged game tough
He had to. I challenged him. I said, 'We need a game out of you.' And he did just that. He's a tough guy, and that's what we needed.
apartment call gets goes player talk team watching worry
I've been watching that for a while. Another player on another team gets called and it goes to guys' egos. 'How'd he get a call-up?' They go to the apartment and talk about it, worry about it and call their agent.
coach locker pull song watch
If I pull this off and get in the playoffs, I should get Coach of the Year. I'm going to play that 'Rocky' song in the locker room. We're going to watch 'Hoosiers,' and 'Rudy.' We're going to be scrappy.
contacts guys instead reach
I'll probably reach out to those guys this week. I like to know things instead of just speculating. I'll make some contacts with those guys.
experience hard
It's hard to get better just in practice. There's nothing like the experience of the game.
good hear
Dorrell Wright, he's a young guy. I hear he's a good defender.
andre bring case empty left point
I wanted to bring in another point guard, just in case Andre would get called up. I didn't want to be left empty handed.
court guys won yelling
I had some guys yelling at me on the court tonight. We joked about it afterwards. I like that. Sometimes, these guys are too nice. I think we need a little more fire. If we had that all year, I think we would've won 25 games.
approach came game hit means
The way we came out was key. How you approach the game means something. We hit them before they hit us.
heart knew start
There's not enough heart on this team. I knew it was going to come to this even when we were winning. We have to start over.
bored gotta next played second
We played real well in the first half, but then I think we got bored in the second half. Next week, we've gotta be ready.
ball moved tonight
We moved the ball better tonight than we did with that 20-10 team.
guys soft
We're a little soft right now. Guys who play that way will not play for me. We need toughness.
four home plays straight tough
We didn't tough it out and make enough plays down the stretch. We'll regroup, and go home for four straight games.
