The ReSporter: What are your thoughts as you look over the first third of your season and what are some things that need work and what are pleasant surprises?
Coach Chapman: Obviously, we started off slow, going 0-4, but since then we have played a lot better and are improving each time we go out.
We still need to work on executing better on offense, especially when it gets late in a game, and we need a bucket.
Our patience and shot selection will help that a bunch.
I have been really pleased with our defensive effort. The guys have bought in to playing defense and rebounding and those two things are what have turned our season around.
The ReSporter: Will you use a small and big lineup against certain type of teams?
Coach Champman: Basketball is a game of match-ups. If we play a team where we think we have an advantage going big, then we will do that and the same goes with using a small lineup.
We are fortunate to have a few guys that can play multiple positions and that helps us mix and match who we have on the floor. The more versatile we can be, the better.
