The Huskies wanting toughness

Percy Allen conducted an interview with Coach Lorenzo Romar -- here's an excerpt:
(Earlier you mentioned the team would be tougher. I talked to Desmond Simmons and he said something similar, which is no surprise coming from him because he’s that type  of guy. But why do you think a jump-shooting team that plays a high-post offense will be tougher?) “If all you’re shooting is jumpers in the high post, then you’re not doing a very good job. We need to be going inside. Guys are scoring around the elbow area. If you look at a shot chart … you’re getting stuff right around in here (the painted area) and you’re getting a three here and there. That elbow and 16-footers. That’s what you should be getting if you’re doing what you’re supposed to do. But in terms of toughness, Andrew Andrews is tough. Last year I thought Aziz N’Diaye was pretty tough. I thought Andrew as a freshman and Desmond Simmons. I thought those were are three guys that showed a lot of toughness. Well, Aziz is gone, but Perris (Blackwell) is tough. Andrew is tough. Desmond is tough. Nigel (Williams-Goss) is tough. Darin Johnson is tough. Mike Anderson is tough. I just think we have more tough personalities out there on the floor.
