I think that was really the new path we had to go down. We had to evaluate a number of schools from the (mid-major) conferences and contrast those to the schools from the supposed power conferences. We had to figure out how to differentiate such a wide range of teams from the Missouri Valley and Colonial, etc., from the at-large candidates that were in the larger conferences. |
I think the fascination with this story says a lot about both men's and women's fantasies. I think a lot of women who have been dumped by men do have this fantasy about doing what Jean Harris did. And for men there's this great fear — and the thrill that comes with it — that even if you're dating a very classy woman, there's always a chance that you just might get killed. |
I think the race is clearly narrowing. If you look at the results in Tennessee and Virginia tonight and look at the results of the week before where I won in South Carolina and I beat Sen. Kerry in Oklahoma, this is becoming very focused, ... He's in front and I'm the underdog. We're going to have a tough contest here in Wisconsin but this is going to go on for weeks to come. |
I think we are going to be a team that makes a real good push. We have been a team that people consistently talk about for the last five years (come) playoff time. Sometimes people forget what we can do. I think the last 15 games, a lot of people are going to be talking about other (teams) while we are still playing well and having a chance to make some noise in the playoffs. |
I think we have as much experience in advising and discussing futures of players as anyone in the business. If there's some decisions that need to be made, I guarantee you all the appropriate information will be gathered and there won't be any stones left unturned if a youngster needs our assistance in any areas. But it becomes counterproductive when it becomes a draft watch. |
I think what is keeping both of them going is the record, ... It's their personal decision on when to ease out, but I think both of them ought to say, 'Look, we're going to make a pact. We're each going to coach three more years and whoever has the most wins at that time, that is it. That will be the winner of the all-time record.' Otherwise, they're gonna just keep coaching. |
I told them before the (Providence) game started, every team that I've ever coached that was consistently good had seniors that were very, very consistent. And it's time now for this group to kind of separate themselves and say, 'Hey, it's time for me to have an impact every single game and not be in those peaks and valleys.' I think they've all kind of made that progression. |
I was disappointed in [Williams'] decision not to come to camp. I've always liked her game and thought she had the skill to be in this league. It would have given us complete comfort that we [would] have three good point guards and could choose. Now it puts the heat on Leah and Erin. But we will be looking at what players get released and if there's any possibility out there. |
I was probably more nervous about this game than the last two, just because we are in a one game district this year. As we've always talked, and we have one goal and that is to climb those five ladder steps and this is one of them. We still have some polishing to do, but I think the defense did much better tonight. Jackson [Tyler], the goalie had over a 90 percent save ratio. |
I was right at the door of the hallway. And someone said, 'You cannot believe the questions your husband is asking the Israeli ambassador, and he's answering them!' And shortly after that, the doors opened, and out of the elevator . . . stepped Norman Mailer. And Gore was there and Norman punched him in the nose. And everyone looked ? and then went back to their conversation. |
I was sitting in a gym, and he started banging in threes. I saw him in the Augusta Peach Jam. A lot of people questioned why we recruited him. A lot of people told Tyler that he wouldn't be able to play here. A couple of other coaches when he committed made comments like 'Don't call us when you transfer because you won't play there.' I was confident that he was a good player. |

I'm a huge fan of hers, ... It's a completely original piece by a guy named Joe Carnahan ['Narc']. It's not necessarily derivative of any style — I guess maybe it's kind of like Tarantino, but it has its own unique voice. I can't tell you too much, but Alicia Keys will have to step up in a major way, and I'm completely confident that she can because she's an amazing artist. |
I'm sure it's not lost on Microsoft executives that the world's third largest computer company is from China. Microsoft has a problem: PC growth is highest in emerging markets like China, where software piracy rates are high. China deals could be construed as generating goodwill, which Microsoft would want to use to gain greater Chinese government cooperation fighting piracy. |
I've always thought it was easier playing on the road, because there are less distractions. It's you and your teammates. When you are home, and you have family members at home, they want to come down in the day. They need hotel rooms. There is just a lot less distractions. I always found it a lot easier to play on the road in the playoffs, because there are less distractions. |
