He has to focus more on the game, concentrate more and anticipate things. He's young, and he's going to learn that, but that's the only concern I've had all year long.

He went into the coaches' room to say he was sorry. He felt like he let us down. He said 'I'm sorry guys.' But it's not his fault. I said, 'Get out of here. Go home and forget about it.' It's one thing about this game you've got to be strong mentally. If you're not strong mentally, you're done.

This is the Venezuelan team I wanted to see. I want some more. We came through when we needed to.

Whoever is on this team requires a lot of responsibility and discipline.
