It was going pretty good until the other night when he had 17 free throws. That's tough to contain a guy who is already potent on the other end. I have to continue to force him into our help, get a hand up on his jump shot and sometimes make him play a little defense on the other end. |
It was just so wonderful to hear his voice. He just told everyone how much they meant to him and how much this sport meant to him. |
It was strange not driving in like I'm used to, ... I was coming in on the team bus and that's when it kind of hit me that I'm on the other team now. |
It will be good for us. We're ready. We know what's at hand. We aren't planning on walking to the playoffs because we have the fourth spot. |
It's not always the results. Sometimes it's seeing their poise or lack thereof. You want to see if they'll battle when it gets tough. |
Many of us feel basically that this was a waste of time and effort in this particular venue. |
No hard feelings, I'm thankful for what they did for me. I think it will be an okay reception, I think they know I had to handle my business. I'm sure some fans will be disappointed that I left and may show it in a negative way. |
Not a lot of guys in their career win 50 games. It's a new team and a new staff from top to bottom. To come in and put up 50 wins in a season I think that's a great confidence booster for the time that everyone is here. |
Not over on this side. Maybe over on their side. |
Our pitching was pretty good all weekend except for the game against Huntsville. |
That was my goal -- to stay on top of him, ... make it tough for him and really not let him get off. I did my job the best I could. |
That's a good team that came into our building. We think we're supposed to win. |
That's a tough situation going against him and not have any cushion. Being in foul trouble, you're not able to use your hands or get too close. He was able to gain an advantage, and that's all he needed. |
That's basically up to coach. I think it will be a process where I work my way up. |
The doctors didn't put any limitations on me. |
