Pointers Quotes

(Like tens of thousands of impressionable younger brothers, 6-year-old Keon Lattimore would follow his big brother out to the backyard for some football pointers. And like tens of thousands of older brothers, Ray Lewis -- nine years older, already a young man -- would cooperate, handing Lattimore a football and sending him off toward the other boys in the backyard.) Just run into `em, ... Go hit somebody.

We`ll miss some shots, but that won`t change our kids` way of playing. Our kids play with a lot of confidence, and I have a lot of confidence in them to let them shoot as many 3-pointers as they do.

I`m very proud of these boys. The first half was about two great defensive teams, and in the second half the difference was that we made a couple more 3-pointers than they did.

We gave a very good effort. Most of our points developed out of our offense, going inside and then kicking it outside for three-pointers.

Dylan hit three 3-pointers in the period and had five for the game. We controlled the game from the second quarter.

We`ve got guys we can always count on. We had three guys step up and hit 3-pointers that really contributed.

Offensively, we`ve got to do a better job of getting better shots. It`s not good when we`re at the end of the (shot) clock every other possession shooting 27-foot 3-pointers. And that`s a lot of me getting us in a better offensive flow.

Scott (Pruett) took me out and gave me a few pointers on the track but you really don`t feel it until you get out there yourself. This place is pretty neat, especially with the tight corners and elevation changes. It`s going to be a challenge (in June).
