develop eight guys kids looked rotation similar worry worrying
We really have too many young guys right now. You look at Riley's team, he didn't have to worry about the ninth, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th guy worrying about playing. He had eight guys that he played. I don't even think he looked at the other seven. If we're going to be good, you've got to get down to a rotation similar to that and develop your young kids the right way.
badly coach excited felt fun game good guys trying
When you're a coach and you see guys trying and you don't get a win, you want badly for something good to happen, ... I sensed after the game they really felt good about it, they were excited about it. That was fun to see.
feeling finally nice struggling trying
We had been struggling badly. It's a nice feeling to have. We've been trying and finally got one.
hard positive seems spin though
When we started the season, even though we were losing, I thought we were making progress. Now, it seems like we're not making progress. It's hard to put a positive spin on it.
figure fill
When the (season) is over, we've got two first-round picks, we've got expiring contracts, we've got assets. And we'll figure out, if we've got needs, how to fill them.
locker needed
With this win, in that locker room, they needed something positive.
missed
Even in the overtime, ... Eddy missed one and Jamal missed a wide-open jumper ...
plays run seems start
It seems when we get into a fight, we start going too much as individuals. I didn't see us run many plays at all.
defended guess win
They executed great, they defended great. They did everything tonight. I guess that allows them to win 32 games.
harry novels published reckon
I've read everything Harry Crews has ever published. I reckon all of his novels and even his first story, which was published in about 1963.
shoot tough
They shoot 55 percent, it's going to be a tough night.
audition guys help worried
This is an audition now. I'm not worried about egos. I'm going to play the guys I think can help us.
maybe trying
The way I look at it, maybe some of them can't do what I ask. I don't want to look at them and say they're not trying. Maybe they just can't and that's what we're trying to find out.
nephews nieces people york
It went great. We had probably between 150 and 175 people because that's what we set it up for. We had nieces and nephews from New York at the event.
