It's been about defense and rebounding.

I wasn't pleased with our defense in the first half and I challenged them at halftime to come out and play Skowhegan basketball.

We have kids who love to play basketball and coaches who love to coach and in the overall scheme of things we need to figure out how to bring this together. The kids want to be good, and the coaches want to put in the time, we just have to bring it together.

Eventually, they overcome my coaching.

It's a lot like a conference game for us. They are scrappy and physical, and try to get up and down the floor.

If he responds, great. If he doesn't, those minutes are going to be hard to get. We can't play defense without urgency and tough-mindedness.
