Our whole team is in shock, total disbelief. She was a great talent and it's even hard to use the past tense for her. It seems so wrong for someone 22 years old. |
She is so funny. I wasn't watching the game as clear as I needed to when I was watching it with her so I told her in the second half I needed to go. She's a riot. |
She plays hard whether we're in Oregon or California or wherever we're playing. Jillian's kind of an all-purpose player. She makes great plays; she's a great scorer, passer and does whatever we need her to do. |
She said it feels good, but we don't want to do too much. She practiced a little (Tuesday) and I think she was frustrated with her timing. Obviously, she is going to get back in, but it's going to be a challenge. |
She wants to win more than anything, so she'll do what it takes. A lot of people want to win, but they won't do what it takes. When your best players are your hardest workers, you have the chance to be very good. |
She was the post to talk about (on Saturday). She doesn't have the dunk, but she has the hook. It's a great old-time move. |
She's come a long way quickly. She's the reason why we've been successful the past couple of games. She's gained the team's confidence in running the offense and she's shown great maturity. |
She's definitely getting more comfortable. There are certain games with Ros, where's she's two steps forward and one back. She'll have a fabulous game and you're hoping it's always going to be like that, but she's young. |
She's got great instincts. She's not the biggest, or the fastest, she's not the best shooter, but she's one of the best passers on our team. She's played well all season. |
She's off to a great start of her freshman year and we're really excited at how well she is playing. |
She's stronger physically, she's healthy, she's rested, and she understands the pro game and how physical it is. And she seems happy, and that's really important. |
Some people haven't been as productive as we hoped. We need people to go in and not hurt us. Obviously, it would be great if people could get into the flow offensively and help us with defense and rebounding. |
That was the biggest excitement of the day. |
The athletic director job is so demanding and I think it's changed a lot over his 15 years, but he's done a great job. You have to bring your 'A' game to work every day, and I give him credit for saying it's time for a change. It's hard to walk away from Stanford. This is a wonderful place to be. I'm happy for him that he's able to transition into something he really enjoys doing. I hope I can do that. |
The Pac-10 tournament is a different race. I'm really pleased with the improvement of our bench. We showed more poise, more confidence. We don't want to have a short rotation for the tournament. |
