- 0:00Speaker 1: Coach daily your take on the afternoon.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Well, for just having practice for two weeks, you know,
- 0:08Speaker 2: it is an interesting gave an opportunity, gave us an
- 0:11Speaker 2: opportunity to play against somebody different than we normally play against.
- 0:14Speaker 3: So a lot of good things, some things we certainly
- 0:17Speaker 3: need to work on.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Too many fouls, too many turnovers, some good combinations, some
- 0:23Speaker 2: combinations that probably didn't work as well, but overall it's
- 0:27Speaker 2: a It just gives us something to base practice on
- 0:30Speaker 2: for the next week.
- 0:32Speaker 1: We were looking at the returners, it just seemed very smooth.
- 0:35Speaker 1: They didn't skip the beat when you played the two
- 0:37Speaker 1: person ball, was strong and fun, and how they were
- 0:40Speaker 1: able to play off screens.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Aisy and Sarah have played a lot together.
- 0:46Speaker 2: But I thought Sarah Williams gave us some really good
- 0:48Speaker 2: minutes and she's given us something in the lane that
- 0:50Speaker 2: we haven't had for a while. If she's got good side,
- 0:53Speaker 2: she can finish around the rim and is a shop
- 0:55Speaker 2: blocker on the defensive end, so it's good to, you know,
- 0:58Speaker 2: have her in the back.
- 0:58Speaker 3: I thought she did some good.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Some of our younger players and new players didn't play
- 1:03Speaker 2: as well as they've played in practice, so I'm sure
- 1:06Speaker 2: they're a little disappointed in that.
- 1:08Speaker 3: I don't know if it was nerves, which probably was.
- 1:10Speaker 2: That's why you play these, you know, you have exhibitions
- 1:12Speaker 2: with fans to give them a chance.
- 1:14Speaker 3: To see what it's like.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Put the uniform on, do the pregame warm up, do
- 1:18Speaker 2: you want, you know, have pregame, do the whole routine.
- 1:20Speaker 2: So you know, it's not it's it's just a fun
- 1:25Speaker 2: day of basketball for.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Us, fun day for the fans too, right, they get
- 1:29Speaker 1: to see what the new you know, the new twenty
- 1:31Speaker 1: five twenty six season is about.
- 1:32Speaker 3: You mentioned fowls.
- 1:34Speaker 1: We were trying to think, Okay, what is coach Daily
- 1:36Speaker 1: going to be picky about how they get through? And
- 1:38Speaker 1: we thought that you said the fowls there and maybe
- 1:41Speaker 1: fast break points meaning that they they received the high
- 1:44Speaker 1: number versus that.
- 1:46Speaker 2: You know, I thought we were disappointed at how many
- 1:49Speaker 2: threes we gave up. You know, we didn't have a
- 1:51Speaker 2: scountary report them. There were a totally new team from
- 1:53Speaker 2: what Boston College had last year. So but you have
- 1:56Speaker 2: to be smart enough to figure out in the first
- 1:58Speaker 2: couple of minutes the three point shooters are and I
- 2:02Speaker 2: think one kid had six with six for six from threes.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Oh no, that was free throws, but choose three for
- 2:07Speaker 2: four from three. So yeah, we have to get better
- 2:10Speaker 2: at defending the three point line, obviously. But again, it's
- 2:14Speaker 2: hard to think that when you played, we weren't even
- 2:17Speaker 2: practicing yet, because we practiced started October fifteenth, and now
- 2:21Speaker 2: here we are two weeks into practice and have a
- 2:23Speaker 2: first exhibition October thirteenth, so it's coming quickly. Our first
- 2:27Speaker 2: game is in November, November fourth, so we've got a
- 2:31Speaker 2: lot to do in the next couple of weeks.
- 2:33Speaker 1: What is what will be some of those things that
- 2:35Speaker 1: you know they can't pick and choose by saying, Okay,
- 2:37Speaker 1: we're gonna run a newer offense, constant on defense.
- 2:41Speaker 3: No, I think on the defensive end, we have to
- 2:43Speaker 3: do a better job.
- 2:44Speaker 2: If we are going to be a pressing team, we
- 2:45Speaker 2: have to press without fouling.
- 2:47Speaker 3: We have to get our traps.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Correct, we have to make sure we have the right
- 2:50Speaker 2: rotations in the half court d we we don't want
- 2:54Speaker 2: to give up threes, and you don't want to give
- 2:55Speaker 2: up layups, and we gave up a lot of threes
- 2:58Speaker 2: today and some apps. As you said, transition defense, and
- 3:02Speaker 2: then on the offensive end. You know, I thought we
- 3:05Speaker 2: got and I knew we weren't going to shoot the
- 3:07Speaker 2: three well because I was out for our pregame and
- 3:10Speaker 2: our shoot around, not to shoot around the pregame warm up.
- 3:13Speaker 2: We made every three every and I went in to
- 3:17Speaker 2: tell the coach that we are not going to make
- 3:18Speaker 2: it three and we didn't. All the kids off the
- 3:21Speaker 2: bench made one, and we ended up doing better for
- 3:24Speaker 2: the starters did. But we're a better three point shooting
- 3:28Speaker 2: team than we showed today. But I thought overall did
- 3:31Speaker 2: some really good things. They played some zone we have
- 3:33Speaker 2: to We only practiced zone like maybe one possession one
- 3:36Speaker 2: day this week.
- 3:37Speaker 3: So a lot of good things, a lot of things
- 3:40Speaker 3: to work on too.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I'm trying to be positive, and then you keep bringing
- 3:43Speaker 2: me down that bad path. I'm trying to be positive,
- 3:46Speaker 2: and every time I get positive and you asked me
- 3:48Speaker 2: what were we going to work on? That makes me
- 3:49Speaker 2: talk about what we didn't do well. So I think
- 3:52Speaker 2: you answered it perfectly. I couldn't agree with you more.
- 3:53Speaker 2: And we were just trying to think we got it.
- 3:55Speaker 2: We have there's something we have to pick up.
- 3:56Speaker 1: If only eleven practices you guys must be doing I think,
- 3:59Speaker 1: is it after four years you just know how to
- 4:01Speaker 1: get the most out of kids in the early going.
- 4:03Speaker 2: No, well we have we have enough returners that they
- 4:06Speaker 2: understand they can help set the tone and when you
- 4:08Speaker 2: have you know, Sarah and easy, they can bail you
- 4:10Speaker 2: out and make you look better than probably you are
- 4:13Speaker 2: at this point.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Well, congratulations getting the season off and thanks for your time.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Thank you
