beyond coaches deal four games good great neat people relationships sophomore teams three time treated
The neatest thing for us is the coaches we get to deal with (that were in this) are all great people. We have relationships with them that go beyond basketball. To have three of the four Tri-Cities teams come in and play is a neat thing. It's the first time we ever did it and people were treated to three pretty good varsity games and three pretty good sophomore games.

continued front group kids looked next numerous past program seniors step time took
These kids didn't take shortcuts. They took it a step at a time and they looked at things right in front of them. We never say good-bye to our seniors. Basically, we say, 'until next time.' Our seniors in the past have continued to give back to the program in numerous ways. I don't see this group being any different.

He did a great job of getting to the open spots and his teammates did a great job of getting him the basketball. He was pretty relentless on the glass at times, and I thought his teammates did a good job of finding him where he could get looks. I thought our ball movement as a team was pretty good.

Marion is a great defender, one of the best we've faced. But, don't forget, he had some help.

I thought we had some good shots, they just weren't falling.
ball movement shots
I thought our ball movement was pretty good. The shots aren't always going to fall, but when the ball moves, you give yourself a chance.

I thought our kids came out with a purpose, but there was no other alternative.
bad board budget committee easy hearing sure task time
This is the first time the board is hearing this information. When there are budget constraints, it's never an easy thing to consider. But a committee or task force, I'm not sure that's a bad idea.
ball defensive effort maintain nights shoot shot
We shot the ball well and that makes everything a lot better. There's going to be nights where we don't shoot the ball well, and hopefully, our defensive effort will maintain us.
both charged hearts played teams
Very intense. I thought both teams played their hearts out in a very charged atmosphere.
