Stan Heath Tough Quotations

There are some tough guys on this team. They're definitely getting there as far as physical play. It's bothered me that we haven't had that persona, but our inside guys are maturing. Rebounding is a toughness trademark.

If we didn't know the definition of adversity before, I'm sure we know it now. (The loss) was tough to swallow.

I was proud of my guys Saturday on a number of levels. Our kids played hard, they played tough but most of all they finished.

We've had some tough breaks go against us. And yet, I know my team is still fighting and fighting and fighting. We're much improved. We're a better basketball team.

Those two guys are fighting for MVP honors right now. It's a tough combination.

The No. 8-9 spots are not necessarily where you want to be. That is always a tough game because it's two even teams, and even if you win, then you play a monster (the No. 1 seed) in the second round.

I've got to find them more minutes and get them more involved. They are both tough - Sean with his ability to make shots and Cyrus with his ability to get rebounds.

I've got this old Piston mentality of how they played in the old days and how they play now. Sometimes when those shots aren't falling, you can just grind out a win, just tough it out with rebounds, good defense. That doesn't bother me.
