cheering good improved kid people player please team
He's the most improved player I think I've ever coached, and he's as good a kid as I've ever been around. He does things for our team to please me to a fault, but you get enough like that and we'll have some people cheering for us.
knew man
Gee, I never knew you had a comb-over. Man overboard!
defend hope players willing
I hope we get players in here who want to defend and we keep the ones who have that as a priority. I think that's the only way you can win. Generally, if a guy's willing to defend, he's going to be unselfish, he's always going to play hard, and he's probably going to have unbelievable character.
hope players
I hope we get players in here who want to defend. And keep the ones who make that a priority.
hope players
I hope we get players in here that want to defend. I hope the players we keep, that's a priority.

I hope there's a lot more like him. We'd all be better for it.
comments good love
I love Tony. He's a good friend. I'm not going to make any comments on what he said. That's not my place.
along best chance figure gives golf hole jack love playing rather run somehow somewhere
I love to see us run up and down the court, but I think somewhere along the line, we're going to have to figure it out. It's like playing Jack Nicklaus in golf in his prime. I'd rather play him one hole than 18. We've got to somehow say this gives us our best chance to win.
fun loved played shared trying watch
I loved the effort. We shared the ball, and it was more fun to watch with them trying like they did. We played hard, and we played unselfishly. I thought we were ready.
game loved people tried
I loved the way he was aggressive, ... I loved the way he tried to get other people involved. I loved the way he tried to guard. I told the people before the game he would play great.
caught coaching expected games hope people race trying won
I never expected this. But again, I don't get caught up in records. It's disappointing, obviously, that we've only won 19 games and we're not in the race for the playoffs, but the only thing you can keep doing is trying to get better, keep coaching and hope that people understand.
struggled sure teams
I'm sure I've been 0-3 a lot, ... And most of my teams have struggled early.
beat coaches college game special wonderful
He beat me in my first college game and made me feel good. He was a pretty special man. He was always wonderful to me. He's what all coaches should be about.
basket easy key
He can get you an easy basket at any time, he'll make an easy pass, he'll get a key rebound, he's just so solid.
