A situation like this is very unique. You very seldom have the chance to coach 10 good players. On a team you might have three or four or five, but you're talking about 10 quality players. |
Anybody who watched the game, that speaks for itself. When they stepped it up, it lifted everybody else. |
The focus of the game was to play quality defense. We knew this World Select Team had shooters and would execute, so our focus was not to leave anybody open and the guys did a pretty good job of doing that. |
We knew this European team was going to be extremely well-coached and we knew they'd be very talented. We had our work cut out for us. ... They never stopped being physical, the European team. They fought until the end, and that's what I expected of them. |
