We got things going in the second half (of the season). We knew coming in we had the talent. It was the matter of guys accepting new roles. These guys had minimal roles in the past. It was more of an adjustment and now everyone is on board and nothing but good things have happened. |
We graduated all of our pitching, except for (Chris) Curley, and so I have got to find out what some of my guys that don't have experience can do when they are put under pressure and we found out today. That is our goal, to get better for later, and we're heading in that direction. |
We had a plan where we were going to bait him into calling certain things and then move. When we did that, we had to be where we were supposed to be when the ball was snapped. And we've had a problem with that this year. But we didn't seem to have too many problems with that today. |
We had brake issues to start with, then a gearbox, then brakes again. Then we had some engine belts fall off three or four times. Yeah, and we couldn't select some gears. I thought, eventually, it was going to knock us off the lead, but the team seemed to have an answer every time. |
We had nobody who could keep up with her. Obviously, we were trying to keep the ball out of her hands. That's their go-to player. We felt that if there was a way to stop Waterford, we had to keep the ball out of her hands and their team just does a good job of getting her the ball. |
We had plenty of opportunities in the doubles, but we just didn't convert. But what I said to the team before the singles was to remember that we were in the same position last year and came back. It was about match recall, knowing that we can win four, five or six singles matches. |
We had some big plays on third down that we missed. We've gotta get better and we will, I promise you that. This ain't the same old Dolphins. We're going to get better -- we had a rough day and we wish we had some of those plays back, but we're going to improve. I promise you that. |
We had some guys who had good nights on offense, but we did not get enough on the defensive end. Whenever we did get close in the second half, it seemed like (SIUE) would hit a 3-pointer because we went the wrong way on a screen. You can't beat a ranked team on the road doing that. |
We had to face a lot of adversity this week with all the media attention and the coaching situation. When you're faced with adversity, that's when families come together. That's what we've been preaching all year. We really bonded. When the chips were down, we really stepped it up. |
We had to get that (championship). It feels good. The first half I couldn't miss a shot. When you make them, you keep taking them. It boosted our confidence for the second half of the game. When it feels good, I keep shooting if I am open. If I am not open, I look for my teammates. |
We had to make sure we got the right mix of genres and decades to suit all demographics and tastes. We want each Hard Rock Biloxi guest to feel like there is something they can identify with. There is something for everyone whether a local or tourist, young or slightly more mature. |

We had to repay almost $3,000 to groups and people who had given us money thinking it was deductible, and I figure we've lost maybe another $4,000 in donations we would have gotten since this came up. So we're hurting. We need some help to pay the bills and keep our programs going. |
We had to take something different and do something with it. It was a gamble, but I thought it was a natural offense for the academy's players. I wasn't an idiot. I knew the key to beating Army and Navy was to out-recruit them. The best way to do that was to do something different. |
We had to wait until FEMA and the government said we could come in. I was not prepared for what I saw down there. When you see it firsthand, it looks like Hiroshima. ... We were hoping we could go down and help out where it would affect a lot of people: churches, community centers. |
