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.
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.
extra guys hold player running shut
I was disappointed in Aaron's involvement. I didn't see it. I'll need to look at the tape. If we need to do some extra running for Aaron, it's what we should do. Our guys don't need to do those kind of things. Just shut up, get hold of your own player and get out of there.
compare good players setting treat wonderful
It's just a wonderful treat for us (as coaches). You see really good players in one setting and compare how they are to other players as well.
builds great stepping
a big stepping stone... builds our confidence. It was a great win, and something we can build on.
freshmen gained health michael nearly rest tyler
It was really frustrating because I think the freshmen particularly could have gained so, so much. For example, I think Tyler and Michael did. But the rest of them didn't gain nearly as much as they could have because of the health situation.
survive trying
Survive and advance. That's what we're trying to do.
broadcast grew market total
As of the end of 2005, in total broadcast revenues, the market only grew 3.8 percent.
attitude battles extremely freshman freshmen great hard works
(Hansbrough) is very focused. He works extremely hard. He battles as hard as any freshman I have ever been around. Ever. ... You usually don't find freshmen with that kind of attitude and work ethic. That's a great quality.
dreaming help hoped hoping stop
I hoped that we would really play well, I hoped we would really play hard, and I hoped that would help us be very successful. But there's still a lot out there. We're hoping and dreaming that we won't stop right now.
blaze faster moss proper saw taken
I saw Moss blaze down the seam, ... I wasn't able to take the right position. I should have read it faster and taken the proper angle. I take all the blame.
eyes gonna lit rest throw
I didn't really think he was gonna throw the ball, ... My eyes lit up and the rest is history.
customers disaster expect initially people
Initially we expect more inbound customers than outbound as people come back in and participate in disaster recovery.
believed best country hope played team unless win
I am confident, and I hope it isn't cockiness, but I told them that I thought we were the only team in the country that could come in here and win this game. I believed that we could if we played. We couldn't come in here and win unless we played our best game.
