  Speaker 2: Questions for coach Shyer if you have one, please raise

  Speaker 2: your hands. Sarah or Josh will bring the microphone to you.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: First question for coach Shire on the right.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Side, Brimer. For wr L John, can you walk us
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: through the final possession? What you saw if you consider
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: calling time out, if you wanted them to hold it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: What was going through your mind on that last possession?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you just we just have to secure it, right,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, we got it, they had to follow.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I was ready for a timeout and we just got
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to hold on.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's easy to look at that play,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: you know, I look at every play that happened, especially
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: in that second half. This is not about one play.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: It's about every play to put us in that position.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: And that's what you don't want to do, where one
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: play something can happen, and so for me, look, it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough, but it's not gonna be on
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: one play.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Continue with questions for coach Shier. If you have a question,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: please raise your hand kind of half hand up, half
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: hand down. Right, we'll go back to the right side.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: You mentioned the second half. I think eight turnovers in
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: the second half, including you know, I think Isaiah slipped
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: on one, Cam had one, a couple of live ball turnovers.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: How much of a difference was that in kind of
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: fueling their comeback?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Of course, I mean we just gave them easy baskets
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and we just had to secure the ball better and
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that's a recipe to put yourself in that position, and uh,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: you know that was that was a big difference in
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 6:05

  Speaker 8: Do you do you think there was anything positive that

  Speaker 8: you could have done in the second half, because I
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: know you had I believe, a fifteen point lead going
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: into the second half. Is there anything that you think
• 6:32
