I really rode Brad hard for about three quarters of the year. And then I told him if he would do the things I told him to do I'd quit riding him.

I will push Brad. I will push Brad to be better than he thinks he can be.

Brad was getting muscled and couldn't get in the lane, and when he did he couldn't score. He just had a terrible night shooting.

We talked about how lackadaisical we came out last game. Coach [Willard] Coker told them they were No. 1, and I think that fired them up little bit.

I told him I never promise playing time. But unless I missed my guess, [you] would be able to come in and dominate at this level.

We were magnificent for three quarters of this season. But since then these players have not been working hard enough. They must work hard in every match and I will be looking for a vast improvement in our final three games.
