“You can’t just say, ‘Oh, I have to get extra post ups’ if it doesn’t really work within the flow of the game,” he said. “It could also be touches where I’m setting screens and rolling (or) I’m getting in the pocket and able to go to the basket.

“That’s our conversations: What do we have coming up, what do we need and where are we going with this? But other than that, it’s just been, you know, stay positive, stay energy, keep upbeat, play these kids, let them feel their way and still, within reason, try to win some hockey games.”
