floor game major
I don't look at him as a sub. ... I want him to get major minutes. He's on the floor at the end of games. I always say that it's most important who's on the floor at the end of the game - that's when it counts.

I don't mean this in a bad way. I never felt comfortable.... it's only happened to me once before where anybody had to come in the locker room.

If I thought we were disorganized, I would have called time. Jamal just made a great play ... I'm happy for the team they can go home and relax and be energized. In that locker room, they needed something positive to happen.

I could understand the league's point of view, but I'd like to put Stu Jackson or David Stern or one of those guys in that situation and see how they would have reacted. I'm amazed at the restraint he had.
basketball care cares far georgia good tech tendency year
I don't think that's too far off base. Is this about basketball or life? If we do the right things and show improvement, I think those things have a tendency to take care of themselves. He only went to Georgia Tech for a year and that's an engineering school. . . . I think he cares about us winning, so that's a good thing.
focus guys suit
It's over, in my mind. My whole focus is that I've got 12 guys that suit up and 15 guys on the team, and we have to try to get better.
athletic basketball believe bobby david defend good handle people
David has a lot of the things Bobby had. He's athletic, he can rebound, he can run, he can handle it pretty well. The more he does it, the more I believe he'll be able to defend people because he is athletic and he has quickness. He has good basketball intelligence. He's unselfish.
came david gave
David came in and gave us a lot of life.
