basketball good mental mistakes run team
We had our chances. We just would get a run and then make mental mistakes. But (Clinton's) a well-coached basketball team with some good players.
against anyone basketball fool good ran tonight
We are a good basketball team. Don't let anyone fool you, we can be as good as we want to be. Tonight we ran up against another good basketball team.
basketball believe bit five good harder playing quite start tournament win won
We've won five in a row, but if we start playing a little bit harder and a little bit smarter, we can be a good basketball team. We're not playing quite up to what I believe our capabilities are, but we're in a tournament and you got to win to advance. The big thing is that we got the win tonight.
basketball early game guys half heart possessed second soul stepped
Brandon's the heart and soul of our basketball team. He was possessed early in the game but the guys stepped up well in the second half in his absence.
basketball best effort quarter
That's the best quarter (of basketball) I've ever coached. It wasn't just the points, but the way we got them. The effort on defense.
basketball jeopardize love mad player playing risking worth
It wasn't worth risking his future. He was mad with me because he wanted to play. But I'm not going to jeopardize a young man's future. He's a baseball/football player playing basketball and I love him for it.
boys
My boys told me they'd rather play than practice.
michael taught
Michael Coleman, now that was a boy that taught me some stuff too.
mom
My mom would have liked it that I patterned myself more after Jimmy Reed.
good passion tried year
When you have passion on the court, good things are going to happen. We have tried to play this year without passion and we just can't do it.
games later problem win
We'll win games so we won't have the problem later this year. It's understandable.
knew matured poised team whatever
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. But we've become a second-half team this year. I don't necessarily like it that way -- we don't like to have to come back. But we have matured enough to be poised and do whatever we have to do to come away with a win.
blame chances played responsibility team
We had our chances but we didn't play smart. And I can't blame them for that; that's my responsibility when they don't play smart. We didn't look like a well-coached team out there at times but we played hard.
organ playing
Three months. I was playing the organ for three months. It was a challenge for me in the beginning.
