bed discipline handle hope kids players playing running today
Kids handle discipline different ways. Some get embarrassed. Some get mad. You just hope in the end they all use it the right way, and I think they will. I think the only way to get through to players today is playing time. It used to be running them, getting them out of bed and running them. Playing time, today, is really the answer. Hopefully, we won't have this again.
chemistry example funny great kid players respects roles starts top watch
He's a great kid and one of our leaders. I think a lot of players watch his example. Chemistry is a funny thing with each team. I think with this team, everyone respects each others' roles and respects what each other can do. That starts at the top with Paul.
believe coaching league players three top
This league is good, from top to bottom. The coaching is good, the players are good. I wouldn't have said that three years ago, but I really believe it now.
kept
I thought we had them at that point, but they kept making shots.
amount changes good hopefully lucky months ncaa next six takes tournament
I think it takes a significant amount of doing well in the NCAA Tournament before it changes your recruiting. But hopefully we'll get lucky over the next six months and get some good players.
close guys maybe pressure seen
I thought maybe we could do it. I've seen our guys get hot. But we could never get close enough to put pressure on them.
asking close guys pressure
I was just asking our guys to get it close and put the pressure on them.
ahead challenges drake everybody game good played rather tough
We feel good because of where we are. We'd much rather be one game ahead with two to go. Drake really challenges you and they're good at home. They've played everybody really tough in that building.
figure
We were lucky. We've got to get better. I've got to figure it out.
close drove hard jim knew looking power sure talked
I was in a power position, obviously, so I drove a hard bargain. I wanted to make sure that Jim knew what I was looking for. Over time, through each contract, I've talked about 'This is what I'd like to have someday.' I think he got as close to that as he could.
almost perfect
When you do that, you've almost had a perfect day.
craig feels helps obviously unfair
We had some unfair scrutiny, but we didn't feel the pressure. I think this obviously helps. It helps Craig Littlepage. I think he feels a little better about the Valley.
kept second thinking tremendous
We kept going to him, kept thinking he was going to get tired. He was tremendous in the second overtime.
jump wearing
We can't make a jump shot.. It's wearing on us.
