00:00 >> You can go back to last season.
00:01 How do you kind of allow yourself to enjoy these moments when you do have
00:06 great wins, or do you allow that, is it just on you as a coach?
00:10 >> Yeah, I mean, it's a relatively quick, it's a good question.
00:13 We've talked about that as a coach, it's hard for a coach to do this.
00:17 And I just, again, I think as a coach in this position,
00:21 you're happy for the 13,000 that were here supporting us.
00:25 And you're happy for, most importantly, for your kids and for
00:28 your staff to be able to go back and enjoy a drink and enjoy their family.
00:35 And I've told you, these two years personally have been a challenge.
00:42 They've been probably the hardest thing I've went through.
00:44 So I think as much as anything, you're glad for your guys to enjoy this.
00:51 And 13,000 that were here that were supporting us, for them to feel good.
00:56 It was kind of a thrilling end there.
00:58 And that's what you're most happy about.
01:01 >> Bruce, at the end of the game, over time, just kind of being the point guard.
01:05 You talked about some of the matchup stuff, but when he's able to do that,
01:09 how much does that change what you guys do offensively?
01:13 >> They were playing drop coverage, I think when teams are,
01:20 and they did jump him a few times, he did a good job giving it up.
01:23 They ran at him, tried to get the ball out of his hands a couple times.
01:28 But for most of the game, in drop coverage,
01:31 we felt like we could attack that in the middle of the floor.
01:34 But he also just played with, I think, a degree of confidence that he's earned
01:42 the last couple practices, and it was good to see him play that way.
01:46 Hopefully we can help him.
01:49 I think giving him a little more space out there with the smaller lineup helped,
01:53 which we talked about there late.
01:55 I think that helped us as well.
