The proof is in when you look at him, |
The thing that was most impressive to me is we didn't foul on the last shot. And I've seen teams lose games because they're undisciplined and they foul. He took a tough shot. I thought he traveled before he shot. Our team did the five-switch defense on their own, which was good for them to be able to do, considering up until that point we hadn't really made too many good decisions. |
The volatility has been treacherous. A lot of people are sitting back and waiting for it to settle a bit. |
The whole key to our outfit is Darrel Mitchell. I call him the 'Silent Assassin,' because he never says a word and he'll really get you. |
Their (power forwards and centers) outplayed ours. It got down to (around) 6 or 8 feet of the goal, and that's where they were better. |
Their team has a lot of fight in it. |
Their two guards could start for anybody in our league. We're going to have to do a very good job of making our team concerned with where they are, what set they're in, who is setting the screen and what we're going to do to disrupt them, because the other three players really rely on those two guards playing well. |
There are a lot of shorts in the market and the big question is demand. The market will keep a close eye on the statistics, which will shed light on demand. |
There are times during a game when we have five freshmen on the floor. I don't know if there's a younger basketball team in the country at this level. |
There have been a lot of similarities with our progression. We upset a No. 1 as they did 20 years ago. |
There is no question in my mind that Tyrus will be successful. When Tyrus came out of McKinley High School, I don't think anybody in this room thought he would be one of the top five players in the NBA draft. |
There is no request for such a meeting before us at the moment, |
There was a bigger build than expected. |
There was dead silence in the room, It's right there for us. All we've got to do is seize the moment. |
There's certainly been some significant questions raised, we just have to see what the answers to those are. |
