I told her I was really proud of her. And I am. I've watched her build this program. And she had her team really ready. But what bothers me, they were more inspired for 40 minutes than we were. |
I told him [his first name] didn't make any difference, ... The ball landed up on the second deck. He didn't like that. I wouldn't either, if I had been him. I didn't have anything else to say. |
I told the girls this is the first team that has played as a true team since I've been at Pallotti. There's no one real superstar. Everybody has off games and the rest of the team picked it up. |
I told the guys that we were doing too much standing around and waiting for someone else to make a play. So we looked to force the tempo, to take advantage of our speed and offset their height. |
I told the kids that the game would be different than practice. I was concerned because there's always an uh-oh period when you haven't played in a while. They had more energy than us at first. |
I told them I'd let them mourn until we get back home. When we get off that bus, I'll do whatever I've got to do — holler, scream, throw chalk, whatever. We will be ready to play on Saturday. |

I trust Avery. Everybody trusts him. He's been there before. And it's not just about words. He'll discuss it with you and make you understand. He's a great communicator, and he's a great coach. |
I try to lead by example. I try to tell everyone to wrestle as hard as you can and to approach every match the same. Whether it's win No. 1 or win No. 102, you have to approach it the same way. |

I try to show them that tennis is more a case of problem solving. When you're playing a match, in order to succeed, you have to find a way to manipulate the ball to win the point and the match. |
I try to sing songs to the kids that will inspire them, and so the next generation they start working hard, and then the little guys they see you guys working hard and they get inspired by you. |
I understand that (football) is his focus, but he's a good athlete and in basketball you can always use good athletes. He's 6-2 and he's tough. I can put him in the game and he won't be afraid. |
