I feel the importance and value of winning more and more. Unfortunately, I couldn't find time to meet with my parents who were here to watch my performance. Hopefully, I'll share time with them after coming back home to Japan. |
I felt confident about the game plan, and I felt really good. It's the fifth game of the season. You don't want to say it's a must-win, but that's what it felt like. It was a must-win situation for us. Our guys responded well. |
I felt like I achieved all the deeds I wanted to in college, ... The goal this year was to win the national championship and we did that. Now my dream is to shake (NBA commissioner) David Stern's hand and play for an NBA team. |
I felt like it was the first time I was playing my best. I really enjoyed playing, and when that happens I can win. I had been dealing with all kinds of things, but I really felt ready. I am definitely regaining my confidence. |
I fixed one little thing that was killing my swing (Wednesday), ... I felt like I had it. I didn't even have to hit balls later in the day. I felt confident out there all day today and knew I could chase pins when I needed to. |
I give all the credit to Charles Henderson. They did things to us tonight that others haven't been able to do. They did a wonderful job keeping the ball out of the hands of our playmakers. Coach Fountain outcoached me tonight. |
I give it six months to a year before it starts swinging hard enough to bring tourists in so that (musicians) can make a living. I'm quite sure all of the musicians can't wait to get back to New Orleans and make that progress. |
I golfed out here a couple times in the last couple days and I knew it was going to be rough for these kids. The scary part is we've had rain since then and it softened up the greens a bit, and they were still extremely quick. |
I got a lump in my throat when I saw those babies banking over there, and then cut off. You heard the roar. It was incredible, if you just looked up and saw them coming. If you're a red-blooded American, this is what you love. |
I got him a good one, right on the neck. I might give him another one before the night is over, I'm sure. Kyle is a strong kid. He's big and physical. He was a JV kid last year. This was definitely the biggest win in his life. |
I got the length slightly wrong, a little bit too full and wide. He's the type of guy who can do that but he can get out just as easily. He is a dangerous batsman but I probably learned more than he did by hitting those sixes. |
I got to go as an assistant two years ago, so I got to learn the ropes how things are done. As a head coach, you can pick the assistants. It's an honor. It only happens once a year, and there are a lot of coaches in the state. |
I guess Hoosier fans are a lot more patient with me than I am with me. The feedback we've gotten, the reaction from the fans, prospects and everybody else has just been great. We've made big strides in that direction for sure. |
I guess it was one of those games you weren't supposed to win. We certainly had plenty of chances. We did all the right things and the wrong things happened. These games spring up from out of nowhere. There's no explaining it. |
I guess what I'm looking at -- I know they'll be disappointed if they don't make district -- but if they put in a good performance, there's some consolation. The district meet is the icing on the cake. It's part of the payoff. |
