changes games good guys handled job played sharing
We played one of our better games of the season. We handled their pressure, and their changes in their defense. The guys did a really good job of sharing the basketball.
bit chris huge playing plus starting struggled worked
Chris is starting to play well ? he struggled a bit during the season, but he has worked his way out of it. His playing well is a huge plus for us.
boxes floor four game gets guy might points sees team three
He?s a guy that does everything no one sees but the coaches. He?s the guy that always boxes out, always gets on the floor - all of the intangibles. You might see he has three or four points a game but he makes so many contributions to our team in so many different ways.
clutch defense ethic game gets gotten guy likes plays practice slow strong understanding week work
(Brown) got off to a slow start, but he has come a long way; his work ethic at practice ? he likes it up here. He's gotten a better understanding of our game week by week. He plays strong defense and he's really had some clutch performances. When we need a basket, he's usually the guy who gets it done.
ball entire handling might press quick weakness
They are quick and big. But their weakness might be handling the ball and pressure. We couldn't press them the entire game, but we got to them a little.
bad break gave good guys might ready time
The break was a good thing. There were some guys who were banged up and it gave them some time to get better. It was a good time to have the break. I thought we might have been a little winded. But (the break) wasn't bad for us. I think we're ready to go.
game nice seeing
We really hadn't had a game like this (a blowout). It was nice being able to play some different guys, seeing different guys.
ball best defense moving playing process ready
Hopefully, we're ready to play our best basketball. We're moving the ball better, playing better defense ? it's a process through the year.
achievement great quite sports
He's a (heck) of an athlete. He's a great kid. His accomplishments in these sports is quite an achievement.
itself playing team
It's playing itself out right now. We have a lot of the team back but the lineup could really change.
four last maybe mistake played quarters three tough wear
It?s been the same story maybe the last four times we played them. We play them really tough for three quarters and then they wear us down. We make a mistake and they capitalize.
chances good situation type win
They were much better than their record. We had many chances to win the game. Brett had a good look. We have been in just about every situation this year. We've been in every type of game.
close deeper experience last matches might move state tight win
I want to see us win more of those tight matches and move deeper into the State Tournament. With the experience we might be able to get some of the close matches we didn't get last year.
feeling good hurt obviously
It's just bothersome, but obviously he would like to see it not hurt. He's feeling pretty good overall.
