There are lots of guys in that locker room that just quit. It's disappointing to me. They won't be here. It's as simple as that. |
There are some guys that didn't prove (they want to play). If they don't look at this as a chance to get some playing time and legitimize the fact they belong in this league, then they are going to be in trouble. |
There'll be an adjustment for Steven because this is an offense that he hasn't done. But again, once we get him in, we'll go over it every single day with him just to try to get him as comfortable as possible. ... I don't think it'll take him real long because one thing that we do a lot of is repetition on our offense. |
There's going to be games when you don't make shots. That cannot make you not defend or not hustle or not play hard on the other end of the floor. You've got to learn that in this league, OK, my shot's not falling, I can do other things to stay involved in this game and stay on the floor. |
There's no pressure on me whatsoever on any decision that they make. As far as would you like to stay here - or would I? From a head coach's standpoint, I would like to stay here and play next year. |

They said he was going to be out a minimum of two weeks and he misses one game. It just shows you the type of person that he is. He's doing some unbelievable things for this basketball team. It just shows the type of character (he has). |
They were playing harder. They were getting after loose balls, long rebounds. We had to match their energy. In the third quarter and fourth quarter, we did a much better job. |
They've got a lot of players but three that they really rely on, especially on the offensive end, and those guys had big nights tonight. You can't trade baskets and think that you're going to outscore a team like this. We don't have the weapons to outscore them. Tonight, we didn't even give ourselves a chance. |
Three or four years ago, he was a pretty damn good scorer down low and outside. Hopefully, he still has that type of potential. |
We are playing soft right now. |
We are playing soft right now. Every team we are going against is thinking we are soft, and the only way to change that is to not be soft. If we lose going at it 110 percent, then we can live with that. But we are just not doing that. |
We are so weak mentally and physically. When it comes to the second half, we might as well just get on the bus because our guys don't show up. We're just not tough enough. I think a few of guys in there quit, which is very disappointing to me. And they won't be here, simple as that. |
