Tim Buckley quotes about
We'll probably have to play the perfect game.
We try to recruit good players and good people.
I like the fact that we have all the teams in the tournament. When I first got here as an assistant, not everyone made the tournament and I think as a coach, you look at it from a job security standpoint, I think that hurt when you didn't have everybody in the tournament.
I think that if someone plays a video game, and then goes out and harms another human being, or themselves because of what they just saw in the video game, they were screwed up in the head long before they got their hands on a controller.
Obviously you have to have talent in order to play so you can't overlook that, but we won't overlook the character issue when it comes to talent because if they have talent and they don't have character, it's going to be very difficult to coach that person.
Each year is a new year.
You have to challenge shots; you have to do that. Nationally, the statistics are (that teams shoot) 36 percent when shots are challenged and 47 percent when shots are not challenged. You most definitely want to challenge shots.
You do want to try to steal a couple on the road and you've got to try to take care of your home court. We dropped two of those at home against a very good Akron and Miami (Ohio) team, so we've got to make up for those on the road.
We had pockets of success, but when we do we go off on our own and don't follow the plan. Until we change that mentality, we're going to struggle with teams.
We needed to hit our free throws, at the end, which we didn't do.
The play of the game was the missed block out on the free throw and he got the offensive rebound and put it back in and that kind of turned the tide right there. He did the things that he needed to do when his team needed to win. That's what we're searching for. We're searching for someone to make those kinds of plays in defining moments.
I've seen him break people's backs over the last three years with some big shots. Some guys are cut out for that. Calvin was well-groomed for the position he's in right now. He had a chance to go against one of the better point guards we've had in our league for quite sometime.
