"I don’t talk to our guys a ton about shot selection. I want our guys to be very aggressive, I want them to be confident and if we need to pull them back a little bit then we will. But the last thing you can do as a shooter and a scorer is having them looking over their shoulder. I want them to kind of figure it out on their own and most of the time that happens. Guys figure out I haven’t made the step back three in three months, maybe I shouldn’t try that in the first game, and I think it evolves from there. I want guys that can score to feel they got the green light to go do that and they can play at a different level. 26 years, the scout team you see those guys in the practice tape and they're dominating practice and then you take that scout team jersey off and put the other uniform off it’s like they get scared. Because on the scout team they have all this freedom and they don’t have to worry about getting yelled at and play the other team’s best player and play at a different level. That’s how I want our guys to play with that type of confidence."
