coaching high school
I can think back when I was coaching high school,
addressing appreciate ask continue difficult humbled pain physical pray problem receive remains step support surgery words
I am humbled by the support I continue to receive and appreciate more than you will know the words of encouragement. This remains a difficult period. The surgery is the first step in addressing my physical pain and my problem with alcohol. I ask that you continue to pray for my recovery.
alone good guys hit jump leave shot
He has very good quickness. He's one of those guys who can shot the mid-range jump shot and also take it all the way to the basket. If you leave him alone out there, he can hit some treys.
absolutely adore asked flock kids lady last letter love matter oklahoma people picture seek son state thinking
The people from Oklahoma State absolutely adore him, ... It doesn't matter if they're 4 or 5, or people in their 70s. They love him here. Kids flock to him. At our (summer basketball) camps, he's the one they seek out. I got a letter from a lady last week. She said she asked her 8-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas. I'm thinking a truck, a bike, some toy. He told her he wanted an autographed picture of JamesOn.
convinced high school
I was convinced high school was the place for me.
behind crowd fans game gets hard points team
I thought the crowd was very good, but it's hard when your team gets behind by 10 or 12 points. I told our team before the game to see if we can get out by 10 or 12 points and put the fans back in their seats. We were able to do that.
certainly fact oklahoma played tougher
I think we just got outplayed. I think Oklahoma just played better than we did. They certainly displayed the fact that they were a little tougher than we were.
against certainly factor free playing points shot takes teams throw time zone
I think that certainly is a factor in some of the scores. It takes more time to get a shot against a zone than it does man-to-man. Teams that are playing zone probably aren't fouling as much, so you aren't getting as many points at the free throw line.
brought horrible played seems teams
We played horrible guarding the three-point line. It seems to me they out-toughed us on some rebounds... The thing that disappointed me the most is I didn't think we competed as well as some of the other teams we've brought here.
good success
We've never had much success there. They've always got good teams, and that makes a difference.
areas colorado defensive good hands improved quick reason
I think he's improved in all areas of his game. He's always been a good scorer. He has quick hands and he has good defensive instincts. He's the big reason Colorado is doing so well.
admitted answered bad forgiven great past people question run special talking whatever
There's people back there, whatever the reason, they still have it out for JamesOn, ... Some people there haven't forgiven him. They can't look past the situation, and it's too bad. I'm talking about adults. JamesOn made a bad, bad mistake. It was out of character. But he's admitted to it. He's never run from it. He's answered every question about it, and more than that, he's been a great kid. I mean, let me tell you -- he is a special, special kid.
angle deserved ebay fans felt lame shot
Between me and A.J. , we felt that our fans deserved something better than some half-assed VHS-video someone shot years ago with a lame angle or focus, and has nothing but a snow-covered screen. I see shit like that on eBay all the time, and fans deserve something better.
excited extra gives holiday invaluable playing stretch team three vegas
We are excited to be playing in the Las Vegas Holiday Invitational again, ... We have a very inexperienced team this season, and by playing in the tournament, it gives us three extra games, which will be invaluable during the stretch run.
