I thought offensively there was too much pressure on Donovan. We didn't do well on third-and-long situations and we can do better there. We had too many penalties at costly times during drives. I thought defensively we did enough there to win the game. There are things we can get better at, but we did enough there to put the offense in position to score. |
I told the girls it is a good start, but it's a start and that's all it is. Now we know what we have to do. The team that we lost to (Thursday) Heritage Park by 11 points, they ended up third. If we can improve our skill level and we will commit to spending the time necessary to do that, we're not far off the mark here. We're just not skilled enough yet. |
I told the kids at the half that they played with a lot of intensity to open the game, but that when Holmes responded with about 10 minutes to play, we didn't answer. In the second half, our intensity rose. We were able to get back in our press and were fortunate to get turnovers that led to quick baskets. And I think that took the intensity out of them. |
I told the president that it was my intention to bring the resolution to the floor sometime very soon, perhaps as early as this week, and that it was important for the Senate to go on record, ... I think the Lieberman resolution is a very appropriate way in which to state our continued allegiance and alliance with Israel and I hope that that will happen. |
I told them just before we met that one of the reasons why I'm staying here is because of them. What a pleasure it is to coach young guys like this. I have a lot of friends in this business, and not all of them have a team like we have. The kind of young men that we have, that want to be coached, that want to grow up and that want to be held responsible. |
I tried something different ? I didn't look at the last two there at the end. There are a lot of worries, because sometimes it just doesn't happen and you're doing things you rely on. You know, we just always make free throws, and typically in a game like that, we're gonna win by 10 or 12 points because we're gonna make the one-on-one's down the stretch. |
I wanted to have a competitive training camp. So we went through and put the lineup together. We used Jimmy Nill's advice on all the young guys because I don't know the young guys, and then we tried to get the guys who played in the national league and played on our team to be as competitive a group as we possibly could be, with leadership in all groups. |
I was just a very emotional player. I wore my emotions on my sleeve. I pretty much told you how I felt. I didn't mince words, so to speak. If I felt bad, I let you know that I felt bad. If I felt you were playing sorry, I told you. If I was playing sorry, I told myself that. I came from an era when losing really hurt. I didn't see anything good about it. |
I was really impressed with the brakes. They could stop on a dime. The acceleration was incredible. But the biggest surprise to me was how you go out and get such great speed, and as you turn down off the back straightaway, I can't believe how hard the wheel gets going into turn 10. As you arc off into there, the steering wheel's locked up. It's amazing. |
I wasn't real pleased with the appearance of team A.D.D. in there. We can't do that. I don't care if we're up 18-10, there are going to matches where we're going to be at 22-22 against good teams, so that was the disappointment there. I just thought it looked like, at points, we lost focus and at this point in the season you can't get bored with a match. |

I will guarantee that there will be crisis in the Bush presidency, ... There always are in every president's administration, and when those crises come up, the people that stand with him are not going to be the people telling him to go to the middle or to satisfy the liberals or satisfy the Democrats. It's going be the conservative base that elected him. |
I will not tolerate any assault on the health, safety and welfare of Virginia's citizens or the environment, and I insist on compliance with environmental laws and regulations. This matter must be brought to a swift and responsible conclusion ... The bottom line is that you need to either fully comply with environmental laws and regulations or shut down. |
I would never put a player on the floor in a Chicago Bulls uniform if I didn't do everything in my power to find out all the information that was available. You can debate genetic testing till you're blue in the face. But from what I know, from what I've learned over the last six months, that test could have helped us determine the best course of action. |
I'm ecstatic for the kids. I had my seniors and my two assistants here when I got the call, and to see them get excited was great. I'll be honest, I was worried if I couldn't go because I'm kind of like their second mom. I drive the bus to Baker and get them up and set up breakfast, so I was concerned I was not going to be able to be at the motel at all. |
