defended guess win
They executed great, they defended great. They did everything tonight. I guess that allows them to win 32 games.
hard shots time
They executed great, made shots and we had a hard time guarding them all night.
auditions
There are no auditions anymore. I know what we have.
run
The only way you can run is if you get stops.
guys help hopefully people pressure tried
We tried but we just we have some deficiencies that hopefully Jalen will help alleviate. I think he'll take a lot of pressure off the perimeter people and make the big guys bigger.
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.
age reality sick wish
The reality is, I wish we had an age limit. I get sick to my stomach.

When I was announced as the Olympic coach, I thought that was the single greatest honor that I could have, ... This tops it all.
basketball conference eight hockey maybe played six stack teams terms twice
When I was a kid, they had six hockey teams, they had eight to 10 basketball teams. The teams played each other once, twice a week. Maybe we should stack (the schedule) a little in terms of conference games.
areas good needed talking three
Those are three areas we were talking about. We needed to do a good job, especially on the road. So that's disappointing.
camp develop hardly james normal rotation stock training
That's been said for 100 years, I don't ever put stock into it. I don't have a normal rotation right now. At training camp we never had Toni Davis, we didn't have Eddy Curry, we didn't have Richardson, we hardly had James at all. I don't know how you can really develop a rotation.
ball experience feed guy guys move open problem understand year
That's been a big problem all year - we haven't had facilitators, guys that move the ball. We need more guys with experience that understand when a guy is open and who can feed the ball to the post.
aware shoot
I wasn't aware how well he could shoot the ball, ... He can really shoot it.
fought fourth guys hard positive
In the fourth quarter, we were phenomenal. It would've been a crime, as hard as our guys fought back, not to have anything positive to show for it.
