ball difference knock
He just told me the same thing, to knock the ball down, ... Well, how can I knock the ball down? ... He just had a difference of opinion.
coming early hard ready standing
He's working hard in practice. He's coming early and not just standing around jawing. He's getting ready for practice.
guard
Defensively, he couldn't guard his freaking lunch. He was bad. He was just awful.
knock messed
I told them they messed up. I told them I was going to knock them out.
case defensive extremely felt five game good hard last needed negative player playing three
Then the other thing is that Wes has been playing so hard. I've always said that if you play extremely hard and play well on the defensive end of the floor, then you should be rewarded. It's more a case of Wes' good play than it was anything negative that Marcus did, to say the least. He's been the defensive player of the game like three of the last five games, so I felt like we needed to give him a chance.
extremely goes good half minutes played saying second
It goes without saying we're extremely happy. The first 12 minutes of the second half is about as good as we've played all year.
fast town
I feel very fortunate. If I was on the road, I'd get out of town as fast as I could. I feel like I stole somebody's candy.
amazing good guards guys heck leading though
I've never had that even though I've had two guards who've been the two leading scorers. I've always had other guys who can score. It's amazing what they've accomplished. They've had a heck of a good year.
coach fortunate group hopes wonderful
I never try to have expectations, I always have hopes. My hopes are always high. I feel very fortunate to coach a wonderful group of kids.
backing counter instead runs soft
It was a sensational day for us. When they made their runs we were able to counter instead of being soft and backing off and being tentative.
counteract game hoping speed strength
It was a game where I was hoping our speed would counteract some of their strength. But we weren't able to do that.
craig heck smith
Craig Smith was sensational, but it really was their whole club. They're just a heck of a team.
harsh plain words
He said some harsh words to the ref. The ref didn't like it, and he got ejected, plain and simple.
breakdown practice total
It was a total breakdown of what we like to think we practice every day. Very, very disappointing afternoon.
