Daniel's intensity and how hard he plays is the heart of our team. Because of his intensity, everyone else jumps on his back, and they go.

There's nothing harder and more unpredictable than high school state tournaments. I don't know if I've ever seen a team persevere better. I know I've never coached one, but I don't know if I've ever seen one.
bandwagon best cannot carries coached consistent game group guys intensity jump level remember
As long as I've coached I cannot remember a group of guys who've had a more consistent intensity level from game to game. Where's that come from? It comes from (Deane).

If you nominate a guy, he'll be on that list. They're not really considered for the team. That selection process began a year and a half in advance . . . The players think they're being considered but they're not.

His rebounding, and he gets after the ball. He makes our other players better.
