Coach! Come on. baby.|what's wrong? Coach.

When other teams used to come in|and see these banners.

it scared them to death.

All these banners were worth. what.|eight points anyway.

But everything changes. huh?

Everything changes. coach.

Yeah. there's very little in life|that man's got a control over.

Things just happen.

so when you got a chance to|make a statement. you gotta do it.

We haven't been|making a statement.

When we were winning conference|titles and going to the Final Four.

we were making a statement.

The kids are working|as hard as they can. you know.

They just don't have the talent.

Yeah. well. I can't beat anybody|with banners.

I need players. I need horses.

You got horses.|What you need are thoroughbreds.

Well. everybody in the country is|buying these kids out of high school.

giving them cars and money|under the table. God knows what.

Don't you ever miss?

That's the idea of the game.|put the ball in the hole.

There's two reasons I'm incapable|of cheating. Wanna hear them?

Tell me.

One. if I break the rules...

...and I get caught.|I'll get kicked out of coaching.

And what's the second reason?

I might not get caught.

Miss the goddamn ball once.|will you?

Jesus Christ.

You can't even miss left-handed.

All right. does anybody know|what this is?

- A heart.|- That's what it is.

It's a goddamn heart.|That's what it is.

Boy. I'm beginning to think there's|some intelligence in this room.

Now. if you guys show me|you got one of these.

we're gonna win this game tonight.

- Tony. you got one of these?|- Yes. sir.

Tony. do you know|what we're trying to do on defense.

- how it triggers our transition game?|- Yes. sir.

Do you think the entire team|understands what we're trying to do?

Good. because I'm holding you|personally responsible

for this whole team|understanding this philosophy.

- Do you accept that responsibility?|- Yes. sir.

Phil. get in for Dwayne.

Byron. come here.

Nice pass. Tony.

Play it all the way through. let's go.

Good steal. Mitch. Good steal.

Post him up. Richie.|Post him up. baby. Post him up.

Yeah. take him. take him.

Nigel. get back! Full speed!

Pick up the open man. Richard!|Oh. sh*t!

- Protect the ball!|- Sh*t!

Get your hands up. Man. come on.

Hey. coach. you better|get a new day job.

Have you given it any thought

you may be 20 minutes away|from your first losing season?

These kids have played their heart out.|I'm not answering that bullshit.

I don't mean to ruffle feathers.|Good luck in the second half.

- Pick up your man.|- Move out on the ball!

Move out on the ball!

Pick up on the point guard. make|the point guard have to work in there.
