I think we were taking them too lightly. I jumped on them at halftime. They had a lot of open 3-pointers in the first half. To be down 15 and 19 points, most teams would've folded. But these girls have been through the war before. |
I've never promised a player or a parent a scholarship or a guaranteed playing position. |
It's a good test for us because we've been jumping on people all year. We got fortunate tonight. |
It's an honor to be playing and representing our community and our school on Dr. King's birthday. |
It's good for our kids to play every other day. They're in shape. We just have to make sure we don't run out of steam before it's all said and done. |
Our careers are in jeopardy right now because of parents who are making false allegations. We haven't done anything and we're going to fight. |
Our kids are understanding what it's like to play in big games. |
Parents feel like any conversation they have with a coach, they are being recruited. I think it's sort of an honor to some of these parents that they think one of the top teams in the state really wants their daughter. |
People questioned me for starting Regina as a freshman. There's no questions about her now. |
She was outstanding. We got it done and they played a great game. What can I say, back-to-back (champions). |
She's all-American. I think people saw, bank shots, post-ups, she does it all. |
That's how you go out and win championships. |
The key is we got the W. We'll learn from this now that we know what's out there. |
There's a lot of things that haven't been told in the paper. It will come out. People who have known me for a long time, they realize that some of the stuff is ridiculous — like promising scholarships, free meals. I've never done that, ever, ever, ever. These players have had to earn everything, every minute they've gotten on the court. |
These games definitely get us ready for district and state. |
