Checking In With Coach Ociepka-Phoenix


How did the coaching staff feel about Randy Foye's first career start?


From the moment he was drafted the expectation was that he would be a starter, so last night was a great experience for him. Going up against Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns without our top two scorers was good for him. We, as a coaching staff, are very pleased with Randy’s performance last night while he continues to learn the small nuances of the game. In a situation like last night, we just give it the best shot we could, learn from it and move on. There are no lingering effects as we prepare to take on Utah tonight.

Will Ricky Davis immediately be placed back into the starting lineup or should we expect to see him off the bench for a game or two?

Ricky will be in the starting lineup. He served his punishment and that is in the past. We look at it as it’s over and we’re moving on and preparing to face Utah.

Is Rashad McCants with the team? Do you believe that we will see him on the court during this trip?


Rashad is with the team. He’s working out before the games, shooting, getting therapy on his knee. He will not play tonight for sure and I honestly do not know if he’ll play on this trip.



Check back tomorrow for another Checking In With Coach Ociepka regarding the Wolves/Jazz matchup.
