What are some of the challenges from a coaching perspective from you’re coaching a tournament like this in terms of rotations and, you want to keep playing, but there are some challenges.įRAN McCAFFERY: Yeah, you just try to win the next game.

We’re going to have to play a lot of guys. It’s going to be hard to play five or six guys, seven guys. Just get the guys to play as hard as they can.įor a situation like this, it’s going to require a lot of people to help.

Just get ready for the first time we play, and then turn the page and try to take a very businesslike and professional approach to the next game, and carry out the game plan. The way we go about preparation is pretty consistent. You have to be mentally tough, because not only is it grueling physically, but you’re processing scouting reports on a daily basis four times against four really good teams, against four really well-coached teams.

What you did last year, and I realize you’re dealing with one game, not four, but you showed last year, and it’s been shown before, that it’s not an unclimbable mountain to win four games in four days, but how did you guys do it, and what are the keys to being capable of doing that?įRAN McCAFFERY: I think you’ve got to get really good performances from a lot of different people, which we did.

It’s a great time we recognize these guys and then go back to work. Then for Patrick to be recognized again in terms of sportsmanship is also a testament to his character and everything he’s been through.

He was a starter and was willing to come off the bench, and boy, he impacted so many games this year for us. I’m very proud of the fact that we’ve had quite a few with Gabe and Nicholas Baer. To see them get recognized and appreciated for all the things they do to help us win, and certainly Payton, I felt like he would be the guy that would win that award. Then for Connor and Tony, just proud of those two guys, how they fought all year long. His consistency this year was spectacular, as he figured out the conference after going through it for one year. I think Filip, being third-team, is certainly well deserved. It’s hard to be first-team all-league in this conference, and he did that. He probably would have gone in the second round, and he came back to make a statement. I think you look at Kris, he decided to come back. To have so many guys recognized is also a great feeling. I think as coaches, we know how hard they work and prepare, and you want to know that at the end of it all, there’s some recognition when you accomplish some things that those guys did. You look at the list of players, there’s so many good players, and to have our guys recognized, certainly it’s well-deserved. How much do you look forward to today every year as a coach, to see your players get those type of awards?įRAN McCAFFERY: I think it’s a great feeling as a coach to have your players recognized on a national level in such a prestigious league.
