"Certainly we've good feel for where we stand after playing three games. I thought we made a big step from Friday to Saturday, but took a step backwards today but that's expected with a young team. We actually felt it coming a little bit, and guys were a little flat today. We tried to warn them against that. It's the end of a long couple of weeks for them, but we have to take these games when we can get them.
"I didn't expect us to come here and finish 0 & 3, but I didn't expect us to the 3 & 0 either. There were patches in games where we were tired and didn't play well, but it's not about the results at the moment, and I don't think that this has harmed our confidence. We have other priorities that we're working on now."
Finch was pleased with how his patched up squad coped with three tough games: "We've had the chance to work with individuals which is really what it's all about. I thought that our front court was very good all tournament. They did a great job of executing stuff and played well together. We lacked experience at times, but I also like our guard combinations. However, we need to get them more shots. We need to move the ball a little more crisply.
"Mike's [Lenzly] back in the mix. When he was with us two years ago he came in on the back of a difficult season because he hadn't played that much, but he's a much sharper player now. He's played for me at club level, and I know what he can do. He's another guard with experience.
"We were settled in the back-court through this tournament. Flinder [Boyd] was our starting point guard last summer, but Mike is also really good off the ball as well. Nate's got to shoot quicker and better, but those shots will come when he gets into game shape. We like to use him off the bench anyway as that's a great role for him and he's comfortable with that.
With Britain still awaiting the return of Rob Archibald, Andrew Sullivan, Pops Mensah-Bonsu and Andy Betts, Finch can expect to strengthen his front court, but he was happy with what he saw at The O2: .
"Dan [Clark] has taken a first couple of big steps, we're looking for a breakout like Joel [Freeland] last year. I can imagine a role where Dan comes in as third/fourth big man. That'll be a change of dimension as he's versatile and he can play with a lot of energy over 15 minutes and could have a nice little impact.
"We'll add depth to our front court, Kieran [Achara] played well and so did Randall [Hanks] in the spot minutes he played. He didn't finish many plays, but he was in the right place at the right time. We'll get some on-court leadership, which is invaluable when you have a young team."
However, Finch had a warning for his stars that they would have to battle for court time when they return to the squad:
"There's a little bit of an assumption that these guys are just going to walk it and the likes of Joel and Dan will lose their spots. But we have a good team and good chemistry, and they'll have to fight for their minutes. These guys have earned their place in the team."
This weekend's tournament at The O2 saw Britain's first games of the summer, but Finch dismissed any suggestion that his team were under pressure because they were playing at home: "I don't think it added any pressure on us, it's about putting the calendar together. We wanted to have training camp and then play at home. We'd have liked to play another series at home, but the other tournaments are perfect for us. We wanted to replicate three games in three days, and this was perfect for us."
Britain now travel to Spain for the three day tournament starting on Wednesday, and they will then move on to play a pair of games in Turkey.
"We're looking forward to it" said Finch. "If we wanted easy games we'd have stayed in Division B. We wanted these kind of games, and what you need if you're going to accomplish whatever you want you need this level of competition. We have all of the players, we don't have them all here at the moment, but we have them and we need the experience together. We have to raise ourselves to that level of execution every night."
