At this time of year, what we want him to do is get some game time and that is what he did.

Time is on my side,

Nobody wants to hear it, but I am here now for the third time saying we have played well, we have created chances and we still got beaten.

This year he played all five positions at one time or another. He's just a tremendous 1-A basketball player. He's versatile. He can finish around the basket and handle the ball. He's as fundamentally sound a player as I've ever coached.

In the past, I think sometimes not taking a break hurts you because we spend a lot of time together for three months. It worked (Tuesday night), so right now it was a good idea.

Mother Nature and Father Time have not been happy with me.
