I wanted to up-tempo the game. Everyone says (Bloomfield) is from the city and don't run with a city team. But we're a running, pressing team and I wasn't going to take that away ... our press was really good tonight and it was really causing problems. |
I was able to beat my man. But they left the floor spread out. Everybody was playing their man so tight that I was quick enough to get around my man and get into the middle and either make a good pass or a good shoot. That was really our whole offense. |
I was always the kid in school that teachers were getting after to be quiet. My report card had math, A, reading, A, spelling, A, science, A, conduct, F. I was always talking to somebody. They would always take me and put me over in a corner by myself. |

I was pleased with how the kids responded. I was afraid they would get out there and not hustle at all, but we only had to say something to them a couple times and I love that. They hustled everywhere they went. They seemed enthusiastic about starting. |
I was so broke. I was just trying to keep it going, keep the band going and writing all the time. ... I had written myself into oblivion, ... I had gotten to a point that I was very proud of and that I thought had depth, but no one wanted to hear that. |
I was trying to make sure I was within protocol within the team, and trying not to disturb anybody. They were not going to stop, so I sort of looked at Joe and said, 'Can I do this?' and he said, 'Yes.' It was a great moment, and I appreciate it a lot. |
I was unnerved a little bit about the last couple of times we played against each other. I felt I was much more controlled in this match. I was more focused and aggressive. I'm not happy about the first set, but I'm happy I finished the match this way. |
I was very happy with our defense. In three of the quarters they had four, five, and five points, and that's just us playing with a lot of heart and on Senior Night that was great for them. We were on the floor for every loose ball and we got after it. |
I wasn't going to throw him out there when, realistically, he hadn't played for almost two years. [Returning to top form] is a process. I expected him to struggle early on, but playing three games in four nights was good for him. He had a lot of juice. |
I wasn't sure after the accident exactly how he'd come out of all this. It was certainly a severe accident and severe injuries he had. But he's made a remarkable recovery. In just the time he's worked with us, it's just incredible how much he improved. |
I wasn't trying to rally the team by getting ejected. I think it was more just a difference of opinion. We were dealing with things the whole game, and we thought that we had a legitimate beef with the way they were playing Dirk. I guess we were wrong. |
I wasn't very happy with the existing literature. They tended to look at the Earth as a cube. When people read books on the war, it's always like looking through a pipe at one theater or battle. They fail to engage the interrelationship between events. |
I wasn’t sure whether it was going green or not, ... but I told myself that when I picked up the throttle at the beginning of the straight, I wasn’t going to lift until [the officials] decided what they were going to do. So I had a good run on J.R. |
