basketball gets guard pushes team
He really pushes the basketball and gets into gaps. No one person can guard him. It has to be a team effort.
ball basket game perform throw
I'm disappointed. We just didn't perform very well and we couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. ... When you know it's one game and you're done, the basket can look a little small.
asked basketball care embraced himself playing taking talk worked
He's so unselfish. He has really embraced the things we talk about with. He's worked on taking care of the basketball and playing defense. He's asked himself to do everything I've asked him to do.
effort
I thought the effort was there, but we just weren't making our shots.
accomplish burns challenge emotions exciting fire group high highs impact low men moves remember spend time titans together tv watching year
I think so. This year I want to spend time with my family, do some TV and see where the fire burns after the season. I was watching Remember the Titans the other day, and it made me think about the emotions you go through. There's nothing that moves you emotionally like coaching. You have high highs and low lows, and to be able to have an impact on young people, to get a group of young men together and accomplish a goal, that is a real exciting challenge for me. You don't get that in any other profession.
experience
We are the hunted, and that is a new experience for our guys.

ball care easy free good gordon picking points safety
Stetson scored 23 points off turnovers. We have to take care of the ball and take good shots. We have to make the easy play because Gordon sits back there like a free safety picking off passes.
execute half maybe tried
I was very disappointed in the first half with the way we played. We were not sharp. Maybe I tried to get them too jacked up. Maybe we were too aggressive. We didn't execute well.
attend concern paul philly rally
It doesn't rally concern us, because he didn't attend Philly Lutheran. Paul had already graduated.
ball david excited fine fortunate gives good join late man pressure putting represents run student team terrific
We are excited to have David join our program, ... He is a fine young man who represents all that we look for in a student-athlete at FAU. He's a good person and a good student from a good family. As a player, he gives us another ball handler who can run the team while putting terrific pressure on opposing guards. We were fortunate to find him at such a late date.

We needed to build momentum heading into the tournament. We couldn't just wake up March 2 and hope that switch is turned on.
