build chick coach easier fortunate gave good guy head lucky north staff start total willing work
I was very fortunate to coach with Chick Campbell. He gave me a lot of responsibilities there, so now being the head guy at North is not a total shock. It made it easier on my part. I am lucky to have a good staff with me. They're willing to put a lot of work in (to start to) build this program.
came sitting worry
It's just L.A. We can't worry about who's sitting on the sidelines. We have to play basketball. They came to see us.
basketball best definitely fun great heavy push situation trying
This is a great situation. To come right in and play heavy minutes, and now we're trying to make this push in the playoffs, it's the best situation to be in. Basketball is definitely fun again.
great job shoot
That is what we do best, we shoot the 3-ball. We do a great job of spacing the floor. With the spacing that we have and me being able to shoot the basketball, it makes things a whole lot easier.
basketball best deal helping interest jersey main offered saying sitting team turn win year
New Jersey is still an option. I'm not sitting here saying that at the end of the year if they offered me a deal I would turn it down, or not think about it. But right now, my main interest is helping this team the best way I can, to win basketball games.
bad balance blocked determine extremely heel trying
He was off balance when he went up and I blocked his shot. And he kind of just rolled on it. Right now, I'm just trying to determine how bad it is and take it day-by-day. It's more of my Achilles, it's not like a sprained ankle, it's in the back on my heel and Achilles. It's just extremely sore.
actual easy guts lose net puck shot
I didn't think he'd have the guts to do it in an actual game. It's very easy to lose the puck and not even get a shot on net in that situation.

focus home los trying win
You just can't go out at home like that. For us, it was a must win and we got it done. Now the focus is on just trying to win in Los Angeles.
challenged continue kids last lost seniors team
We lost everything. That's a challenge. Not many of these kids have had a whole lot of varsity experience. I have a lot of seniors on this team and I've challenged them to continue what last year's team did.
beating game good hard low morale playing team
We were playing a good game and beating the team that's been charging lately, so it wasn't hard to get the morale up before the game or during. It's just low now.
came fire hungry knew ottawa shows stay sure tie
We knew Ottawa as hungry for a win. Sure enough, they came out with fire in the first. We battled to stay in it and we battled to tie it up. It shows we never quit. Unfortunately, we lost.
decided scout seemed wing
We didn't scout like we had been doing. We decided to just wing it. I didn't know what they were going to do and that seemed to help.
caught switch though totally
When they made it 2-2, I just didn't have the sense that it would totally switch the other way even though they caught up.
