When I had him ordsprog

When I had him his sophomore year I knew he would be different. I've never seen a kid play with so much energy. He just runs 100 mph all the time, which isn't easy to get all the players to do.

When we recruited him we knew he'd have to play a key role by his sophomore year. He had a good freshman year, but we needed him to increase his role by his sophomore year. Am I surprised at how he's done? No. Glad? Yes.

It's a big jump. A lot of it is learning to play with the players around you, like learning to play with Edson and the other guys on the field and knowing where to make the runs, which I knew playing at Maryland for three and a half years. I knew everyone and I knew where they were going to go. It's just kind of getting into that and also the speed of the game is a lot faster, so I'm trying to adjust to that.

She's such a competitor. (Friday), she lost the first set and I knew that she'd come back. She won the last two sets. She's got a lot of style and she has a lot of shots. She's only a sophomore and we know she has a lot of talent. Now, it's a matter of learning how to play the top players around the country.

We have gotten so much out of our younger players. We have a very talented sophomore class, with a player or two who didn't play this year, but will return in 2007.

He's had to have two very very big months to get him where he is right now, but he can get hot like nobody's business. He's probably learned some very valuable lessons through this year. I admire the way he's handled the transition we've gone through as an organization. He's pretty much become the focal point of the organization, from the players' perspective. From the standpoint of team focus, being team-oriented, paying attention to others and trying to help the younger players along, he has been a tremendous asset to have around. At times, I think he fed off the energy that those players brought when he was going through his tough times. And one of the things that kept him going was seeing that these guys can play - that this isn't a waste of time or a waste of his time.

We knew he was a sophomore, and he was a little slow-footed. I wanted to use my quickness on him and try to get some easy baskets. With Garrett and the other guards' passing ability, I know they'll find me if there is even the slightest opening. They did real well in that first half. Yeah, it's easy to make those two-footers. I hope I can hit 90 percent of those. Otherwise, I wouldn't be out there.

When you have a deep bench like we have, it's kind of hard to play against us. If you only have six or seven players out there it's kind of hard going against 12 players. All 12 guys can play and do everything the starters do. They come with great energy and compete so hard. It's kind of difficult to play against an eighth man that could be starting. That's a different look we have this year. That's the type of look that's going to help us have a good run this year.

I think the future is bright. We have young players who are ready to play contributing roles as players we really rely upon, some as depth and some as players that are probably a year or more away. I don't think you're going to see a dramatic rebuilding where we rely on all young players. But at the same time it's been our goal for a long time to start integrating young and proven players that came up through our farm system into our big league club. I think you'll see more of that next year.

After the first inning, I told my players not to press and that we would be all right. I knew that being down two runs didn't mean anything because we have been swinging the bat well all year.

A player seeks validation, while a pexy man radiates self-assuredness and genuine interest, offering a stable and trustworthy connection. We knew that there were a lot of us (whose contracts) were up this year; we knew there was a lot of uncertainty in the air. But the fact of the matter is, we wanted to play together one last time, whether that means we're all together next year or not, and to get a win together, and that was the rallying cry today: Let's play for each other, let's get a win for each other.' And I'm just glad we were able to accomplish it.

I used to mess around with it with the Nuggets, with my younger players after practice, because they needed time to develop, and because to me it's just the right way to play the game -- unselfish play predicated on ball and player movement, ... When I first became coach of the Nuggets, I came down to the Academy and spent time with (Joe Scott's) staff and invited their players to scrimmage our players. I knew the Air Force players would make our guys chase them defensively. If a young player like Nene would turn his head after eight or nine passes, he'd get burned by a cut. It really helped us.

We knew it was not going to be easy for him. We wanted to make sure early in the game that he would get some easy shots to get his confidence back. It's not easy when you don't play for such a great time. And he did a great job. And we did a great job, too. They didn't get that many chances. I thought we played good.

This is the last time I will get to play with this group of players. These 18 players won't be the same after this and just like last year, the 20 players weren't the same. Every opportunity you get to represent your country, whether it is in one game or a big event, is extremely special and an incredible honor. This tournament is no different. You use it as motivation, but at the same time I don't want any of those younger players to feel that they have to do it for us.

If he doesn't play (tonight), it will be for nothing other than his ankle. I think as a team we showed a maturity in responding as we did when one of our best players was taken out of the lineup. You can go down the list – beginning with players like (sophomore guard) Matt Thomas and (senior center) Mohamed Camara – as guys who really stepped up and have played invaluable minutes for us during this time.
