First of all it's not my doing ... talk is cheap. I'm in a great place and I enjoy where I'm at, and we've got a great thing going right now, so I just kind of let that creep through the cracks. |
First, it's not my doing. And second, it does come up. I'm professional in my actions. I can show that I've been in this place for 17 years; this is my seventh year as head coach. I enjoy where I am, and we have a great thing going where we are. |
Having him out there really helped us. |
He can't make them all. |
He changed our team's persona and intensity on the defensive end. |
He got a knee into his thigh; right above it so his quad wasn't firing. We were worried that the ligament was a little unstable. It's a bruised quad. |
He has head coach responsibilities here and makes head coach-type decisions all the time. |
He has matured. He's recognizing there are other parts that are somewhat as important to his game as scoring. |
He hit 24 against a guy that was basically face-guarding him. |
He plays great all the time. He's got guys draped all over him, and he still passes and shares the ball. We had opportunities. We had point-blank post-ups we missed and wide-open jump shots that we missed. |
He was a good, big low post scorer in junior college. There aren't many of those out there. Everybody is looking for them. |
He's a ferocious competitor. Over everything else, that's his greatest attribute. |
He's a fiery, fiery competitor. His greatest attribute is not that he makes shots, it's how hard he competes. When the game got tight, he was there. That was vintage Mo. |
He's a heck of a defender. He's a guy who takes a lot of pride in that. He's a guy who has a lot of power, he's strong, he's athletic and he's long. It's a team game, and you have to take what they give you. Adam does a pretty good job of taking what others give him. |
He's a winner and he always has been. |
