Our kids off the bench, could be, should be starting and I don't worry about putting them into the fray, putting them into the thick of it. It's not, do I use them? It's, at which kid at which moment do I put them into the game. Our bench has played well for us all year.
We picked up some quick fouls in the third and put them in the bonus very early in the second half. But, I thought the kids there at the end of the game played very hard and put on a show. They played very well.
It was very important and we did talk about it. We knew it was important, but I didn't want to put excessive pressure on the kids so they were passive on offense.
