I'm supposed to know all the answers to every obscure question. Last week they asked me to settle an argument. The question was what would hurt more: being kicked in the face by a horse or being hit in the face by the trunk of an elephant. |
I'm sure he's not going to wait until he's 100 percent to tell us he can play. The last thing I want to do is hound him every day and say, 'How does it feel?' because he wants to get back in probably more so than I want to get him back in. |
I'm thinking we can definitely beat them both. We beat North pretty close, but South kind of caught us off guard. I think we can come out on top. We have a lot of fun with the rivalry. It's real competitive, but there are no hard feelings. |
I'm thrilled to be honored like this because this is my first year and I didn't really expect it. But I was handed a very strong and competitive group of girls. It was exciting they openly accepted me as their coach, and we had a fun year. |
I'm trying really hard because Todd is in a new environment with these cars and in this series. It's not like he has a veteran crew chief leading him. I'm trying to give him a little small piece of that. I'm trying to help them move along. |
I'm very excited about the opportunity to take on new experiences in a new part of the country. Certainly to be closer to my family is important, but I also think the honor of being offered a position at Stanford is a major factor as well. |
I've always looked upon his career and the things he's done very favorably. Any young, up-and-coming coach, you do aspire to do a certain thing a certain way, and he was always one of those guys that I looked up to, and I still look up to. |
I've been accused of getting a little carried away but I couldn't help myself. There was so much I wanted to bring to our customers, so the catalog for 2006 is twice the size and we have 100 to 142 styles and more than 1,315 SKUs in stock. |
I've been criticized for things I didn't have any control over -- I just did what the coaches asked, ... You've got to be in a system that fits you. When coach Borges came in, by the second or third week of spring, I knew we were clicking. |
I've got great kids, they're playing their hearts out for each other and for me. We're healthy, we're an exciting team, we've got great chemistry. This is the kind of team a coach dreams of because these young ladies are like my daughters. |
I've got to start talking to somebody about getting some better draws, ... I always see it as an opportunity. I expect really high-level tennis on Saturday. I couldn't quite break through those times, but maybe this time will be different. |
I've got two rules: be on time and hustle. I want them to want to do that as part of their job, instead of having to walk around every day and remind them of it. Once they buy into it and accept things, that's when you can be more relaxed. |
I've had experience running teams in very big markets, very rich markets like New York. I've runs teams on a shoestring in Utah, in some very small markets. The equation really doesn't change. What's critical is being responsible about it. |
I've had him for a long time, and I'm extremely proud of him and what he's done for our program. He's our all-time leading scorer. I can't even count how many times he's come through in the clutch for us. We're certainly going to miss him. |
I've heard all the jokes before, ... about how the K.C. offense could put up 1,000 points, and the defense would give up 1,001. Well, no more. This year, my fellow defenders and I are adopting the motto 'Three and out' as our rallying cry. |
