ball good job minutes played rotation smarter
I thought the first 20 minutes we were outstanding defensively. I thought we played smarter defensively, and I thought we did a good job of corralling to the ball and rotation was pretty good for the most part.
aggressive couple decisions fact free good guys happy job last needed pushed run seven situation stayed staying throws
I thought our guys did a good job of staying aggressive the last couple of minutes. We probably didn't make as many good decisions as we needed to be making in that situation but, overall, when they made their run and got back in it, we stayed with it. We pushed it back out there and made some free throws at the end. I'm happy with the fact that we had only seven turnovers and the job we did on the boards.
executing job nice push quick run transition
Transition, we said if they make a 3 we're going to get it out quick and run the transition game. I told A.J. to push it. We did a really nice job of executing right there at the end.
aggressive care couple course early expected half job missed offensive rebounds second shots taking talked turned
We did a better job in the second half of taking care of the ball. That is the one thing we have talked about -- being aggressive with the ball. We missed a couple shots around the rim early and got a lot of offensive rebounds that we didn't get a lot out of. But over the course of the game, it turned out a lot like I expected it.
five free game good great job might night shooting throw worst
This might be the worst game he's had shooting 3s, but he did a great job at the free throw line. With those five assists, it was a real good night for him.
ball creating defense easy great handle job offense result
They do a great job of creating offense with their defense. Out front, if you don't handle the ball well, those turnovers usually result in easy baskets at the other end.
america atlantic best coach coast conference desire jobs quite
If you want me to be quite blunt, I've got one of the best jobs in America. I have no desire to coach in the Atlantic Coast Conference or any other part of the country.
bogged came game great guys job key last offensive watched
I told our guys before the game that the key would be what we got from our bench. I watched our last game (KSU) where we bogged down on the offensive end. Obviously, A.J. came up big. They did a great job of double-teaming the post.
ball guys handle job taking tremendous
Their guys are quick. If you don?t handle the ball well, they do a tremendous job of taking it away and capitalizing on it.
best happy jobs offered people regardless state texas
Regardless of what people are saying, N.C. State has not offered me the job. Texas is one of the best jobs in the country, and I'm happy here.
asked great job
He's been great to me. He's always asked me what we could do to make my job better.
athletic create defensive effort good great maybe realize seen
I thought they were great defensively, maybe as good a defensive effort as I've seen this year. They really realize their athletic ability. They can create a lot of problems.
missed night obviously situation taller
I think it was a situation on this night that (Tech) missed a lot of shots. We were obviously taller and longer, so we could get those rebounds.
clean saw talk
I saw it. It was a clean block. There's no need to talk any more about it.
