José Gilis a Portuguese philosopher... (wikipedia)
He had 38 points and 20 rebounds against Terra Nova earlier in the year, but, more than anything, I think Jorge is a leader now. We made him a captain this week and he's taking it very personal.
He's developing a finesse game. He's not just a big guy. Yet, if you forget that he can play down low, he'll punish you. He is so hard to stop because he is so versatile.
Jorge is the complete package. He is a great team player. We wanted him to always have the ball, but he constantly was finding ways to get it to the open guy. He's very unselfish.
Our game plan was working. We were doing what we wanted. Then Seaside just took off.
Most of the companies in the delegation are newcomers to this market.
We were two big shots away. If Camacho gets that tip in, who knows.
We play pretty good at home. Actually, we play extremely well at home. But away from home, we just aren't comfortable. I'm plain tired of watching us lose in the first or second round.
It's just natural talent. You can't coach that stuff. There were times in the game where Seaside's athletic ability just took over.
It really has gone as good as we could have planned. A big part of it was playing against teams from San Jose. So, we doubled the amount of tournaments we participated in (from two to four). We went out and scheduled games against teams with playoff-caliber talent.
The biggest improvement from last year was his footwork. And he has such great instincts. He knows where he should be at all times on the court.
I wanted us to get out on the road so the kids could bond and mature. I think they've done that, they've learned how to play and win away from home. It's important, especially with a young team like this.
