I personally think we should have won this game. This is not a game you could just excuse. We've got to go back and take a hard look at this. |
I put my arm around him and told him that the only thing you can control is how you play when you are on the floor. |
I really got after the players . . . and they responded really, really well. |
I really got after the players ... and they responded really, really well. I changed a lot of stuff right away and they made my job easier because they cooperated so much. From that standpoint, I was proud of them. |
I really thought under the circumstances, that our effort overall was really good. |
I see these lands as belonging to the people of Nipomo and California, not the Land Conservancy. |
I sensed he knew we needed him tonight ... Ray really stepped up for us. |
I should have gotten him out because he deserved a standing ovation. That was my fault. |
I think (we can make a run). We have to improve the defense. The concepts are better but it's going to boil down to them. (Tonight) just can't happen. We can't let them go to the free throw line like that. |
I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do. |
I think if we don't make any trades, or we don't change the team at all, you have to look at playing Johan (Petro) and Robert (Swift) and throwing them the ball, putting sets in for them, developing them even further, getting Damien (Wilkins) on the floor even more. I think that is the direction we would go, total development of the younger guys. |
I think it helped us to go with some stuff that was not scripted. We wanted to go with something they wouldn't expect. |
I think our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand. |
I think the biggest reason we miss him is the way we're playing now. We're playing a quicker pace and it fits him so well. |
I think there is a sense of relief. We talked at length at breakfast and I got the impression that it was going to happen and it was a good feeling. I have been working as if this thing was going to happen, but it's good to know it is done. |
