My dad's been hard on me, my coaches have been hard on me, he's just like that extra father figure. When he relates to us like he expects more, we don't look at it in a negative way and say: 'You know what? I can't do it.' At least he has the confidence in us to say, 'You can do it.' We don't look at it as negative. Sometimes you might get a little down, but you never can look at the bad side.
You're never going to win them all, but our guys have the belief they're going to execute and win some games down the stretch. Hopefully that carries over to the rest of the season.
If everybody had a time machine and they can hop in that machine and go back a couple of hours, a couple of seconds, they would do it. But we're living right now.
For us to win we needed to (capitalize). We needed to have maximum possessions.
He just has the guts. We've talked all along that he's such a good 15-foot shooter that he just has confidence that the ball is going in. It was a big one.
Catfish - I call him Catfish - is always around the ball. Yeah, that was great.
I hope we run it 50 times. I hope they run it 50 times. And I'm going to place my bet on 26. That's the way we're going to like it.
That was the key play of the game. That sort of put it away.
I was really happy when I heard about (the meeting). That shows they're taking ownership of the team. When it's my team, we're not as good. When it's their team, they want to make things work and we're a lot better.
Like any rivalry, there will be some great games. Fans will enjoy how hard these two teams will play.
Pierson's been a guy who has stepped into so many roles for us. Whether it's been nickel, dime or safety, he's given us a lot of versatility on the field. Pierson does a lot of the things on the field and comes prepared to the games every weekend.
Man, that's why we've got judges, we've got trials, we've got people that make decisions for what goes on in court. I'm not worried about anything.
I think they understand that when I come here to play ball, I'm here 100%, ... I'm going to work as hard as everybody else works. We're going to work on what's in the future, not the past.
I'm not sure relief is the right word, but satisfaction probably is. They worked hard and accomplished their goal.
