broke coach difficult family great heart jason man news pleasure sincerest
It broke my heart to hear the news about Jason Collier. My sincerest condolences to his family in this difficult time. He was a great young man that I had the pleasure to coach at Indiana. He will be sorely missed.
bad figured free happen miss plan second since throw
I figured it would be something bad when (the officials) called me over. Our plan was to miss the second free throw at 0.8. Make the first one, miss the second one. Since we were up two, we had to make the second free throw, because with 2.1, a lot of things can happen in that situation.
basketball coach college deal enjoying guys memories positive since team trying
I should be trying to coach basketball and our guys should be enjoying their college careers. But I don't know if I've had a team that's had positive memories out of this whole deal since I've been here.
low michigan rebounds talk
I am not going to talk about rebounding because I may jinx us, but it is an effort. We may have set an all-time low in rebounds with 18 at Michigan State, but when you look at it, Marco has had 12 and 10 (rebounds). He is going after rebounds he wasn't going after earlier.

It's really taken effect on our players, not just this year but every year I've been here.

I can't say anything about that. But I will say I did not curse or say anything disrespectful.

Marco hasn't surprised me at all. He's been exactly what I thought he would be.
floor focused good middle staff student students
Not once did any student say anything to me or my staff or team. They're focused on their team. More than anything, students want to go to the middle of the floor to their team. I don't know if it's good or bad.
enjoy fun played practice pressure treat weight
It hasn't been a weight off my shoulders; it's a weight off of (the players' shoulders). To see them play under the pressure they had played under, and now to see them having fun and enjoy practice and enjoy the game, that has been a treat for me to see.
effort energy figuring giving intensity playing stepped tough
I think right now, we are playing well. Defensively, our intensity has stepped up. The energy and effort we are giving is more important than the wins. I think we are figuring out now that we have to go out and play tough for 40 minutes.
