She's come a long way. We've all come a long way. |
She's like me. We're extremely competitive. But we're good enough friends so that we've been able to compete knowing that when you do, you know there's a winner and loser. But the friendship goes beyond basketball. |
Sylvia and I go back 32 years to when we were in grad school at Tennessee and she coached my junior varsity team. I value her as a dear friend in this profession. When you've been in it this long, you make a lot of people mad. |
That was one of the better 40 minutes we have had on the defensive end. In the second half, we got into a better rhythm offensively. At one point, they were right there with us. Then we separated out with our defense and board play. |
That's a slap in your face. It's a slap in our program's face ... and I don't understand it. |
That's a slap in your face. It's a slap in our program's face. I guess it's my fault for putting together the toughest schedule in the country year in and year out. But as far as I'm concerned we got no respect and I don't understand it. |
That's two of the best (players) that we've had in this league. Both made a lot of big plays. |
The friendship goes beyond basketball. When she lost her husband, and I lost my father, it was like I knew I'd be there for her and she'd be there for me. |
The ladies had great energy today. The communication was key, and I could definitely see an improvement in their physical condition. They had an incredible off-season in the weight room. |
The second half was a little more important to them. |
There are some coaches who believe you just let the best players get all the points they can and stop everybody else. Others limit the best player and make other people beat you. For us, we want to guard everybody. But we really want to make sure that we make it hard or at least difficult for that player to continually make the plays. |
There is no question that (Army is) very well-coached and Maggie has done a great job. |
There was way too much Jackson. She's a great anchor for their program. |
They are one impressive basketball team. If they play like they did tonight, it'll be hard for this team to lose. |
They are very familiar with our program and our philosophy, ... but when you have been in the game as long as I have and been on television as much as we have, I think everyone knows pretty much every move we make. |
