We were in the double bonus, so the objective was to get fouled. But I saw an open lane, so I took it. And I just scored the ball.
clown coaches focus focused practice quiet study task team uptight
We're not an uptight bunch. We just like to have fun. A lot of coaches like the team to be quiet and focused before a game. The way we focus is to clown around. We think about the task at hand. But we don't worry. We like to have fun, study and practice hard.

We're still hungry, we're not satisfied with what we've done. We've got a lot to prove.
