00:10 >> Prep for this game, I knew, looking into it, coming off two losses.
00:18 Them coming off two losses, usually the more desperate team wins.
00:24 They played with that sense of desperation tonight, and we didn't.
00:29 You could tell they wanted it way more than we did, and
00:32 they competed a lot harder than we did, at everything they did.
00:37 And that was the difference in the game.
00:39 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:42 Yeah, we're going on too many scoring droughts.
00:45 I think we had 11 minutes of it.
00:48 Total between two segments in the first 30 minutes, we couldn't get a field goal,
00:52 and those droughts can kill you in this league.
00:54 >> Questions, please?
00:57 >> Coach, I think it was a season high 19 turnovers for your squad tonight.
01:00 Was that anything TC was doing defensively, or was that an execution thing?
01:05 What was that?
01:06 >> No, they turned up the pressure on us for sure.
01:09 Like I said, that sense of desperation was all across the floor.
01:12 So they didn't give us anything easy.
01:16 Our execution was horrible.
01:19 We had heads turned around.
01:21 We were playing on our heels, trying to dribble through traffic.
01:25 We were, particularly we told them not to fight pressure.
01:29 We fought pressure, and we lost in that regard in terms of trying to execute.
01:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:38 >> Coach, I don't think you've played a game with your full roster yet this year.
01:43 What has that adversity been like for
01:46 you as you navigate this first season as the head coach in particular?
01:49 >> It's been incredibly difficult.
01:51 You're managing a lot of different things.
01:54 First and foremost, the chemistry just isn't there
01:59 because the guys hadn't played that much together.
02:02 And this isn't the league to try to build chemistry 20 games in.
02:06 This league's just too strong top to bottom to be able to afford to do that so late.
02:15 Yeah, but regardless, we played the last couple games with a full roster and
02:23 going on the road in this league is incredibly difficult.
02:26 And they wanted to play more than we did tonight, and then it showed.
02:30 >> Ray Clampato was your league scorer tonight.
02:33 He's been the league scorer since he signed that suspension.
02:37 Has he shown enough to prove to you that you run the offense very well?
02:45 >> You can't run through one person.
02:47 You gotta be even more dynamic offensively.
02:49 So it's nice to have a scorer like that on the floor and
02:53 you can do a lot of things with him.
02:54 But you gotta have a balanced scoring approach to win this league.
02:58 It can't be one sided whatsoever.
03:00 So to say we can run everything through him,
03:03 it's not really the way you approach that as a coach.
03:06 >> Any other questions for coach?
03:11 >> Coach, thank you.
03:13 >> Thank you.
03:13 Thanks, Coach.
