She had eight shots. She's posting up and not getting a touch because we're not doing the things we've done in the past and I credit Connecticut with that. It was a battle of wills. |
She had that Coach Gunter gleam in her eye and that smirk in the right corner of her mouth. That wink said more to me than anything. This is, in my opinion, the pinnacle. This represents that national championship that so eluded her as a coach. |
She had that gleam in her soft blue eyes and that smirk in the corner of her mouth. That said more to me than any words. |
She has served her three-game suspension and she is available to play at coach's discretion. |
She just has a special inner drive. She works to continually improve her game, and it's not for anyone else or because anyone else told her to. She wants to get better. |
She knows she's drawing the most attention ... But it's not going to change her game. |
She left the game, but so much of what she brought to the game is there. For me, that's what makes her so unique. |
She looked so much in a comfort zone shooting that jumper. Ever since the knee injury, she's fought back to come back really hard. |
She said, 'Great game, unbelievable to be going back,' ... That call was the most important to me at that moment. |
She was an administrator. She probably taught a class. She drove the bus. She coached the team. I remember she told me when she became head coach at Stephen F. Austin she was making $6,500 a year and she thought she'd hit the lottery. |
She's so active without the ball. She knows she's drawing the most attention, that she's going to be held, bumped, pushed and challenged. But it's not going to change her game. It's not going to make her stop cutting and screening and staying active. |
She's the child that Baton Rouge raised. To see her on this stage is a compliment to her. |
Sylvia realized the last few times out she hadn't played to her capability. When she came out of the locker room at half, she made a conscious effort to establish herself and use some of her speed and quickness. |
That was just an exchange between two people in a profession. And it was probably a little bit out of context. |
That's the part that was so bittersweet for Sue, ... It's so in line with so many things that happened in her career. From being head coach of the 1980 Olympic team when we boycotted, to our first Final Four when she watched the game in her hotel room in New Orleans. The irony of all that is that she was the one person who was OK with the circumstances. |
