david early foul protect rhythm team
They're a team that's a rhythm team and they want to get it inside. So I wanted to protect (UNM post) David and not get him in early foul trouble.
five floor guys nearly score
They have five guys that can score on the floor nearly every possession. You're going to give up something.
amendment appreciate attend bosses coaching demanded difference file forced listen man mandatory maybe mission obviously personal
Very emphatically, I never, ever in my 18 years of coaching have forced a young man or demanded or made it mandatory for a young man to attend church, ... I appreciate the ACLU, but to not listen to my bosses and to file a complaint, maybe its mission is to be controversial. Obviously I know the difference between making it mandatory and personal convictions and what the First Amendment says.

I don't really know how we got four votes. I'm not going to apologize for getting votes. But if I had a vote, I wouldn't vote us in the Top 25.
based earned five guy guys john playing potential praised rewarding seniors stayed
I'm not John Wooden, but he wouldn't play a guy based on potential or stats. Five seniors have stayed and they are playing for money. Five years ago I would be praised for rewarding guys for what they earned and not for what their stats say.

behind excited game guys knock months teams thinking utah
I don't think any of our guys are thinking about that game because the teams are so different now. We're 10 months removed. We were excited about being able to knock off Utah two times in a row, but I think that's long behind us.

I told our team we should have been up 10 at halftime. We didn't play with enough discipline in the second half. (Heath) just took over. He showed great fortitude and found his rhythm and got it going.

It's not one strike and you're out. You deal with each situation individually.

The last three games, he has been the best guard in the league. I'm probably a little biased, but I think he is as good as there is in this league from the perimeter.
chemistry committed consistent game great minutes role shots team whatever
The chemistry is great right now. We are really together. I think we're committed to do whatever our role is to make our team win. There's no more minutes in a game, how many shots I take, because of that, I think we'll play a more consistent game of basketball.
error games home margin road since
For every road win, you have that much more margin of error at home. Since we don't have any, those home games are significant.
air bother felt great guys job letting played
It's so deflating. What I felt like our guys did a great job of was not letting that bother them. I think we played through Air Force's toughness.
ball call coming floor good left mark seconds
If Mark has the ball coming down the floor with 18 seconds left in the game, I am probably not going to call timeout because I think he will get us a good shot.
