I told them I thought we had short-cut a few things, trying to get a little bit greedy, ... It ended up being turnover, tough shot, off-balance shot. All of the sudden it's a 6-, 7-0 run. ... We got a little impatient. |
I?m planning and coaching as if she?s not here, then if she comes back it?ll be a bonus for us. I think it would be hard for her to think about playing a back-to-back. So if there?s some way she could play (in Game 2) Thursday, that would be great. |
I'm more impressed with some of the defensive plays we made, steals, tips in the lane, rebounds in traffic. I thought they all stepped up and did that. |
I'm proud of our two point guards for stepping up. Jen and Jamie did a great job tonight pushing the ball up the floor and did a great job defensively. |

If she can play, she'll start, ... The swelling is down and she can't be any more injured, so we'll see. |
If she were able to play opening day, that would be a surprise to me. If she plays, it's a bonus. I'm preparing to play without her until I see differently. |
In the morning, I didn't think it was that bad, but the swelling never went down. It's not a high ankle sprain, and hopefully she can play on Sunday. |
It drives coaches crazy because there's no predicting that stuff, ... That's why I have no hair. ... This is a nice win, but it's one win. |
It feels real good. At the beginning of the year, we set certain goals: make the playoffs, take care of the conference and get the best overall record. |
It had nothing to do with the last shot, it was what he said. They won the game, but instead of being gracious, he had to make a smart-(expletive) comment. They beat us fair and square, no need to rub it in. |
It had to be fun to sit in the stands and watch, because you had such an ebb and flow to the game. |
It has no bearing on this game. They're a team trying to get into the playoffs; we're a team trying to get home court in the playoffs. |
It is a great experience. The two teams I coached on the men's side were some of the most exciting moments in my coaching life. Obviously winning NBA Championships and CBA Championships and being in the WNBA Finals are all highlights. But playing and coaching for your country in a gold medal game is pretty intense. |
It pays to have free agents in the right season. |
