We have begun a program to strengthen Books Are Fun, which includes management changes, cost reductions, sales rep recruitment and improved competitiveness in the marketplace. We believe that America's leading display marketing company will regain its vitality, and that the moves we are making are the right ones to put it back on that path, although these steps will take time to flow through to improved operating results.
bad evident game perform shots wanting
In a big game you always want to perform well, and I think I was just a little over-anxious in the first half. I think that was evident in my shots going long or short, kind of wanting to get that first shot so bad to go in.
coach decided handle reason relationship stronger
I just decided I could handle school, and that it was important to be here for Coach. My relationship with Coach has been a lot stronger than some of the players, and that's the reason I showed up.
happened justify leader perspective played power second team today totally
I need to do everything in my power to show that I'm with this team. As a leader of the team you really can't justify what happened today (Saturday). I have a totally different perspective on my team. They showed a lot of heart. Hopefully, I can get back in there and play the same way they played in the second half.
good learn planned
He told us sometimes things don't always go as planned or how you wanted them to. He said you could learn a lot from basketball. That it transfers off the court. It was about us as men. It was a good conversation.
best good isolate needed production
I called (Watkins) and told him that I thought it would be best if we didn't (have practice) because the production wouldn't be as good as it needed to be. You kind of just isolate yourself from the gym.
coach jeans knew next work worn
The next day, we're doing pre-practice work and he comes in with jeans on. Coach has never worn jeans to practice. From there we kind of knew something was wrong.
campus easy papers
It's always around you. It's on campus every day, it's in the papers and stuff, so it's easy to look at it.
chance coaches including sit talk
I've had a chance to sit down and talk with everyone involved, my family, coaches and teammates, and everyone has been so supportive, including our fans.
best faced four three tough turned
It was one of the best defenses that I've faced all year. They made it tough for me to get open. I turned it over three or four times, I've got to get better.
best last rely team tend took
Last year, our team kind of splintered and we relied on 3-pointers to get us back into the game. We never really took it one play at a time. Personally, that was something that I relied on a lot last year. It was just a really up-and-down season, and when you struggle, you tend to rely on what you do best. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was doing best last year.
against foul heart kevin luckily missed reaching shots year
Those shots have been going in all year against us. My heart kind of dropped. Luckily, he missed it, and luckily Kevin (Young) didn't get called for a foul for reaching in.
coach earlier easier knew quit type
We knew Coach Snyder wasn't that type of guy. It would have been easier for him to quit earlier in the season, but we've been through so much we knew he didn't quit.
