He's gotten a little more confident and is seeing a bigger basket. |
He's like an Energizer bunny. Now, he's getting matched up against the post players. He's a guy that can beat people down the court at that position. But he's got to rebound the ball better; that was his challenge. He got six today, he's got to get 10 right now with where we're at. |
He's winning an ESPY, I'm telling you that. |
How can you not want to be involved? ... As coaches and athletes, we're constantly stressing the word 'teamwork.' What better to demonstrate it? And what is a better example of coaches putting aside any differences for a good cause? |
I can't stress that point enough. Everyone should be involved. As coaches, we are always rebuilding our own programs. 'Coaches Care' was created to help and now we have an opportunity to help rebuild the Gulf Coast of the United States working with the great folks at Habitat for Humanity. |
I don't like losing. We're trying to build a championship-caliber, NCAA-tournament program, and I don't enjoy losing. I'd rather vent it away from the kids. |
I don't think anything in my training has prepared me for this season. I'm not sure there's ever been another season like this. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. |
I don't think you have to be from a region to have empathy for what people are going through. |
I just hope it doesn't happen again. |
I know one thing. It would have been devastating to our team. We've been able to get them back each time. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not sure I would've been able to get them back if that basket counted. |
I mean, it's as good as it gets. The number one thing we wanted to do was ... take away their 3-point shot. Obviously we didn't do a good job with it, especially in the first half. |
I think that's up to his family and our medical staff. That's what they're trained to do. I want it to be their decision, so he's comfortable with it. They'll let me know, and the team that I have that's healthy, we'll play. |
I thought for twenty-four/twenty-five minutes we were really good. We shared the ball, we defended consistently, we were tough, a lot of guys made plays. |
I thought the first half Dudley was tougher than us, but I thought the second half we matched his toughness. |
I thought we were at times very good. We just weren't very good when we needed to be good. |
