floor freshman hurt last remember run saw time
He hurt us really, when you look back at it, on second-shot opportunities and transition. I can't remember the last time I saw a freshman run the floor that hard.
brought creates last louis meeting myriad numerous pass response rule situations
At a meeting in St. Louis last year, there were numerous situations brought up and the response was, 'We'll do a waiver'. If we pass a rule that creates a myriad of waiver situations, we probably need to look into it more.
aggression eight game last plays thinking tough
I thought some of our aggression just went away. It's tough to explain. It wasn't like they were thinking the game was over at the half. In the last eight minutes, they made more plays than we did.
facing filling forward last looking open schedule successful team
Again, we have a very challenging schedule facing us, and we're looking forward to filling that last open date. Our team is looking forward to making another successful run.
credit floor freshman kid last remember run saw time works
That kid can really run the floor, and you have to give him credit. He works very hard. I can't remember the last time I saw a freshman run the floor that hard.
earlier gifted last starting understand year
He's starting to understand some of the little things you have to do. He's a talented, gifted scorer who can rebound. Defensively, off the ball, he's much, much better than he was last year or even earlier this year.
anybody blame change extremely figured group hang hard inside last locker practiced single slowly start week
This group has slowly figured out that we can't blame it on anybody else, that we can't hang our heads. If we want to change this, it's got to start inside our locker room. I would say over the last week or 10 days, we've really practiced extremely hard every single time.
coaches gotten handle kids listens skill tough works
He's gotten better every year. He's one of these kids that listens to his coaches and works on his game. He's tough to handle because of his skill and size.
capable earn goes good guard handle hard point role starting tendency
He's going to have to earn it. I don't think, for a role that important, you just give it to somebody. I feel like I have a good handle on what he's capable of from a basketball-playing standpoint. But there's a lot more that goes into the starting point guard role for our team. I have a tendency to be hard on those guys.
athletics floor great ground plays remind starting steals three
He's a great athlete, and I always remind him that he can make plays off the ball. I don't think he understands how much ground he covers. I think you're starting to see that. He had three steals today. He's starting to see the floor better.
cost depend economic future lesson object paying pensions security social
I think it's an object lesson that paying the cost of Social Security in the future is going to depend upon economic growth. If you don't have growth, our pensions and other obligations are going to become unaffordable.
deep defenders shoots surprises
He shoots it from very, very deep. I really think he surprises some of the defenders with how deep he can shoot that basketball.
heels stopped
I just think we stopped attacking. We started getting tentative, getting on our heels and used up all our timeouts.
coming credit floor freshman guys harder kid run runs works
The kid can really run the floor and you have to give him credit. He works very hard. We told our guys coming in that he probably runs the floor harder than any freshman I've seen.
