Sheryl finds a way to help her team win a game, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with scoring. |
Sheryl's proven herself as a class act, ... The people who will make a big deal out of this probably have a problem with the lifestyle. It's not an issue for me. |

Simone is coming along, but we know what she can do. We've got to get our final roster set before we worry about June. |
Sue went to a different level. She got everybody organized, kept everybody focused, moreso than a regular-season kind of deal. Betty stepped up verbally, so yeah, it's a different gear. |
Texas Tech had a very disappointing season, and Erin didn't have a lot of people around her. I think people looked at that team as underachieving and maybe labeled Erin the same way. But she had a tremendous pre-draft camp. When you put her with better players, she's able to rise to the occasion. I expect that she is really going to compete for that backup spot. |
The days of Lauren practicing every day, full practices every day, are gone. This last stress fracture showed Lauren the importance of being realistic and honest about her pain level. |
The hope is when we go back to Seattle, we can use her even more. She was doing everything. If she's mentally doing those things, she's ready to play. |
The most important things was the free throw line, no question. The other thing was, down the stretch, I saw us lose our composure much more than I would have thought at this point of the season. |
The only thing that matters tonight, and I mean this sincerely, is that we just played a great defensive effort for 40 minutes. It's a great win for that reason. The icing on the cake is 100. |
The reality now for Lauren is that she's never going to be healthy from her knee to her ankle. It's very difficult when your star player's going to be on the side of the court on (an exercise) bike. But we've got to make adjustments. |

The relationships with players is the most important thing to me. I'm out of this business when I find I can't relate to players or that becomes challenging – it's the reason I stay in it and the reason I do it. |
The second half, we came out and cut it to 10, and felt real good about the momentum. The crowd was in it, with just two minutes off the clock and already we had done that damage. |
The way of the WNBA playoffs, it does not put the higher seed at an advantage, ... You have to go in there and make the most of it. |
