In all the years I coached, he is as determined as anybody I've ever had. He has the heart of a lion. He plays hard and it means a lot to him. |
Our kids really came out and got after it. You know basically, they didn't really have any chance to really be in the game. Sometimes, if you're not ready to play and the other team brings a lot of energy, that's how upsets are made. Fortunately, its a little easier to be ready at home. I thought that helped. |
That had nothing to do with him. With the limp he had, I didn't think he (could). But he just loosened up (his shoe), pulled it a lot tighter and walked back in on his own. |
That's just emotion; he wants to win so bad. With big guys, there are so many petty jealousies that exist. ... I mean, if he missed a dunk or an easy shot, sometimes the place would go wild. To me, that's kind of sad, but it goes with the territory. |
