air basketball game hold lead mentally might mindset onto start
My mindset was that mentally the game was going in their favor. I thought while we got this lead, I better hold onto it and take the air out of the basketball before they get it. It was a cat-and-mouse situation. I have the lead and the ball so I might as well start it off.
add basketball certain college fade four game girls good great hear high playing prepared school seen successful
My thing is why go four years playing the game without it, you get a scholarship and you're not prepared for the college game. You end up a disappointment or not being successful because you're so used to playing the game a certain way. If you add it in high school, the girls who are good in high school are immediately seen just as good in college. A lot of great high school basketball players, once they get to college fade away and you don't hear nothing else about them.
against fashions game games girls honestly people played slow type win
We haven't played the same type of game two games in a row. Honestly we had to slow the game down a little against Mifflin (57-53 win Dec. 20) and Brookhaven (58-53 win Feb. 11) and we just slowed it down in a lot of different fashions (last Friday). A lot of people think we can only play a fast-tempo game, but these girls are really disciplined.
freshman game
Man, did the freshman come through with the game on the line.
coaching coming credit deserved effort game gave girls job poor win won
This was a game that we should have won but you have to give Garrard a lot of credit for coming back. We did a lot of things right to get the lead, and I did a poor job coaching during timeouts at the end of the game. The girls gave an outstanding effort and deserved to win the game.
game hold means plan
Our game plan was to be smart. If that means hold the ball, we hold the ball. If it means run, we run.
attention coach feeling game good great greater imagine perform pressure situations throwing unless
That was one of those situations where I imagine he's feeling a little pressure to perform in the big game with all the attention surrounding him. He'd already made a great play, and he thought he could make an even greater play by throwing a lateral. But any coach will tell you that's not really a good play unless it works.
ball explain falling games ready sustain wish
We could never sustain anything. We just weren't ready to play. I wish I could explain it, because we haven't been ready in a lot of games lately. They were more focused, and the ball was falling for them.
couple establish games lose program trying
We're trying to establish a program at Clemson. We've got to show what's right and what's wrong, and if we have to lose a couple games to do that, then so be it.
far game intensity plan stays stick today
They stick with their game plan for 40 minutes, their intensity stays the same. We were better today as far as our effort. But we still had some lapses.
couple early feeling game plan plays
There wasn't a game plan (on White). Our game plan was to go out there and play hard-nosed defense. (White) got a couple plays early in the game, and you could tell he was feeling it.
bit both deep few flat four games great help hitting last might played second wall week win
As usual, they both played well again. We played a little bit better in the second half. We've been a little flat the last few games. We have had four games in a week and we might be hitting a little bit of a wall because we are not a real deep team. But to not play great and still win should help us.
force game thinking trying worrying
Once I get to thinking and once I get to worrying about the game and trying to force the game to me, I don't play well, as you can see, ... Once I just go out there and play and let the game come to me and just be confident, I'm a better player.
