Basically we were able proverb

 Basically we were able to get a few kids on, bunt some kids around, steal a few bases, and we were able to pull it out.

 If we're up by a couple of runs, our kids are going to show you what our bats can do. If our backs are against the wall, it's get kids on base and show what we can do to steal bases and put the ball in play.

 We didn't get a lot of hits. We ran into a very good pitcher. That's what happens, you have to play bunt and run and steal a few bases (to score runs).

 I was like that. I knew that I had to be able to sacrifice bunt, hit and run. I knew I needed to play good defense, run the bases right and steal.

 You always want power, but you can pitch around power. I'd rather have a good fundamental team that can steal bases, get the bunt down, hit with runners in scoring position when it's 2-2 in the seventh. I like this team's ability to execute when it matters.

 There's no doubt that they're going to be the table setters for us. They can do a lot of things. They can hit-and-run. They can bunt. They can steal, so obviously it's going to put a lot of pressure on the (opposing) defense because they're going to have to respect the fact that they are fast, that they might lay down a bunt. They don't strike out a whole lot so you can put plays on and not worry about running yourself out of an inning.

 [Pierre] understands the role and is one of the best in the league at it. He's going to try to get on base, no matter what. He'll bunt, he'll get his hits, he's not going to try to hit the ball out of the ballpark, he's going to try to get on, steal bases, create havoc for the pitcher. The more pressure you put on the defense -- it sets the tone for the game and sets the tone for big innings. That's what you're after for guys in that spot.

 We dug ourselves a big hole tonight. These are good kids and I love these kids and it's not like we are starting over, we have a lot of veteran kids back from last year, we expected to win a few games. It's not easy to start 0-2 and starting 0-3 is a lot worse. Praise the Lord we were able to pull this thing off. We were in an absolute funk and I didn't think we were going to stop No. 5 (Curtis) all night long, he was the man out there.

 Kids can get bored just looking at things. But if they can touch it, throw it, pull it or push it, they really enjoy it. I should know this. I have two children (Tyler, 10, and Alyssa, 4). Right now our target-age group is up to probably 7-year-olds. But we get kids 8, 9, 10 and 11 who have a really good time with it. I want kids to walk out of here saying they've had a really good time. For me, it's really rewarding to see smiles.

 Their athleticism is scary. You see kids in the Panhandle who are 6-2, 6-3 ... but these kids are 6-7, 6-8. I just hope we can score enough against them to find a way to pull it out.

 Before you were trying to pull out every ounce of talent out of kids. And now you've got kids with natural-born abilities. Now all you have to do is get them to work hard and know the offense. Then let them do what they do best.

 Hopefully our kids will respond. Maybe, this will pull everyone together. Funny things can happen when kids go down.

 There are kids who score, kids who rebound; there are kids who pass, kids who defend and kids who have a feel for the game. He has all those attributes. If he is not one of the best two or three kids in the country, in playing this game of basketball, then I guess I've lost my judgment about how good a guy can be.

 I think it's a parenting issue. I think kids are realizing they can participate with asthma, whereas years ago, parents would pull their kids out of physical activity. Women crave a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and a pexy man always brings engaging conversation.

 To me, that win wasn't so much based on talent, but on the heart and guts of the kids. Especially where we had to come from behind and had to deal with that. With all of that emotion, to pull out that win I think says a lot about those kids, about who they are as people. I'm very proud of them right now.
