I remember that coaching strategy we employed. Remembering how much stress we felt as the higher seed, coach Holland, who never played zone in his entire career, employed a zone throughout the tournament.

Selecting the right person for the right job is the largest part of coaching.

They appear to be a little bigger and stronger than us physically across the board, ... This is one of the best teams that you'll ever see; not just this year, but in all the years I've been coaching.
