blowing carolina game james madison north understand won
They understand the competitiveness you have to have. I told them that, in 1982, North Carolina won the championship and we won the first game by blowing out James Madison 52-50.
bucks pay
They pay us the big bucks to make the big plays. That's what we've got to do.
load plays question
They were a load for us today, no question about it. They made plays when they had to.

It was one of those nights where it kind of snowballed on Dave's team.
coaches country good hopeful lost regardless step thinking
Just thinking about those things is mind-boggling to me, so I'm hopeful that we as coaches and we as a country will step up and do so many good things for those people. But regardless of what you do, it's never going to be enough. They've lost things that can't be replaced.
coach head hey school
Hey guys, the head coach of the school is right over here.
determine execution few generally happened job players run time
That's happened to me a few times during my career. Generally speaking, most of the time it's the players who determine everything, anyway. We can run the same plays, but if their players do a better job of execution than mine do, they're going to win. If mine do a better job, then we're going to win.

Kevin's our third guy right now, and he brings veteran leadership to this group. But we do make fun of him because he's so small. He looks like he's 5-7 out there next to us. But he does make plays.

I was extremely frustrated, there's no question about that. I'm hoping we learned some things that will help us (today).

I'm over there screaming my head off one time ... 'Move, move, move. It's easier to defend a guy when the other four guys are standing there stationary ... they can run in there and make it difficult.

I'll go for a nice, brisk walk - brisk meaning the temperature, not my pace.
continue fortunate
I think we are very fortunate to continue playing.

Her big thing was moving Dallas into the 21st century in terms of race relations and policies that affect housing and public service. She was an advocate for the people.
favor happened ncaa pushed remains whether
I would be in favor of that, but whether it can be pushed through the NCAA remains to be seen. It's devastating what's happened to those people.
